520 _a"It seems religious freedom has become an object of perpetual litigation. As a consequence, the struggle over church-state relations is vulnerable to a high level of crisis-mongering--especially in those ubiquitous fund-raising appeals. It is difficult to sort out real threats from mere shadows." (LIBERTY: MAGAZINE OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM) The author identifies "those truly important issues that, in [his] judgment, will prove crucial to securing religious freedom well into mid century," as well as "highly emotional issues of mere superficial importance--except that they rile the masses and cause them to reach for their checkbooks to finance the wrong battles in the culture war."
