What is there

for them to be skeptical about?

'Religious Right' Critics Skeptical About Ralph Reed's New Group

He claims it's going to be

"younger, hipper, less strident and more inclusive"
and I'm sure it will be. I'm sure it will have the same goals as the previous group, and he's almost come out and said that. So what's to be skeptical of? Besides, who trusts the various atheist groups? What have they done to try to concern themselves with anyone other than their fellow travellers?
The thing I have the biggest criticism of is Mr. Reed's comment that President Obama is leading the U.S. into 'bigger government, higher taxes, etc.'. After George Bush, a creation of the Religious Right, can there be higher taxes (for everyone but the wealthy, of course), more debt, and bigger government? I think he needs to remove the log in his own eye before critcising a President who has been in office only a short time...
