Pastor Chosen to Lead Christian Coalition Steps Down in Dispute Over Agenda
By NEELA BANERJEE
The president-elect of the Christian Coalition of America, which has long served as a model for activism for the religious right, has stepped down, saying the group resisted his efforts to broaden its agenda to include reducing poverty and fighting global warming.
The Rev. Joel C. Hunter, pastor of a Florida megachurch, was named the group's president-elect in July. He was to have taken over the presidency in January from Roberta Combs, who is also the chairwoman of the Christian Coalition's board. Mrs. Combs will continue in both positions now.

"The only thing that appeals to our base is armageddon, death, and scaring the bejeebuses out of our children to prep them for the coming war against __insert enemy du jour here__."
...and on the eighth day, the cristian coalition created thousands of new atheists.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks.
