Secularism VS fundamentalism

Not sure comment is needed, Palin, Santorum, Bachmann, Perry and all this shit don't deserve more respect than Franco, Salazar, Ceauscescu, North Korea and so forth. Why? because they act as the same : as fascist leaders Franco and Salazar they want to see religion ruling the country, and as sovietic dictators they want to impose a one-sided point of view to everyone, without letting them choose or oppose, obligating them to accept "a truth" they didn't choose or agree with.
