I am not and have never been a Christian but . . .
I've lived among 'em, a lot of 'em for too long to put much credence in the fears and accusations being bandied about here.

I didn't vote for Shrub, I don't like a lot of his policies, his people, his behaviors. But that don't make 'em necessarily illegal. And fascist, in the sense of Wartime Italy and Germany, I think not. We're seeing a lot of anxiety on the part of certain belief systems that a lot of people subscribe to. Those people have been able to form a powerful voting block, and we're seeing a high water mark of these considerations. They aren't doing the country a lot of good, but they are a legitimate expression of how a lot of American people feel, and the very reason we're getting the brunt of these is beCAUSE we're in a democracy.

I'm not a fan of faith-based education, missile defense, or high colonics, but I'll take faith-based over fear-based any day!
