It was not enough for Akhenaten to simply install a cult devoted to one god, or even as one god as the only god. He had to demolish the other gods and their worship.]]></description>

Ron Ramsey, who is currently (one might say justifiably) running third in the state's Republican gubernatorial primary race, is apparently  not sure if the Constitution's guarantees of freedom of religion apply to Islam, which happens to be the world's second-largest religion - right after Ramsey's own religion.]]></description>
