From the CBS press release on this Sunday’s Evangelicals “expose”:

“Evangelicals — Christians who place a personal relationship with Jesus Christ above all else — have become a major factor in American politics and culture, says a prominent Christian theologian. They now number an estimated 70 million, have several prominent American leaders among their ranks, including President Bush, and their beliefs are echoed in an emerging conservative movement.”

“Evangelicals …have waited in the wilderness and now, in the fullness of time, they have come into possession of what they felt was once rightfully theirs,” says the Rev. Peter Gomes, a Baptist theologian at Harvard University. The president supports the work of religious institutions, is against gay marriage and is anti-abortion — all part of the agenda of conservative Christians, particularly evangelicals. “

OK. Fess up. Who gave Christians citizenship in the first place?
