The Right Still Has Religion: ‘After Pat Robertson’s resignation last week as president of the Christian Coalition, much of the commentary focused on the declining importance of the man and his movement. Critics note that the Christian Coalition has been losing members and financial support for years, and that Mr. Robertson lost credibility when, on his television show, “The 700 Club,” he agreed with his fellow conservative religious leader Jerry Falwell that the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 were God’s punishment on America for tolerating feminists, gays and lesbians, libertarians and certain federal judges. But the fact remains that Pat Robertson has been the most influential figure in American politics in the past decade.’ NY Times
