Punks and the USA Christian Right

I couldn’t resist this opportunity to point out that humanists, atheists and secularists are not alone in their passion to keep state and religion separate. Henry Rollins, hero of the punk movement, stand up performer and host of his own TV show, has given a passionate defence of Evolution and a damning critique of Intelligent Design and the Christian Right in the USA. Punk as a movement has always been concerned with personal freedoms and autonomy from the state so religious freedoms and freedom from religion naturally fall into that.
