Sen. DeMint Accuses Democratic Colleagues of Being Hostile Toward Religion

Lack of Faith

(Fox News) - Republican Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina is accusing his Democratic colleagues of being hostile toward religion. Senators defeated DeMint’s amendment to the economic stimulus bill that would have eliminated language prohibiting colleges from using the funds on buildings used for — as stated in the bill — "sectarian instruction, religious worship or a school or department of divinity."

DeMint says “this is a direct attack on students of faith, and I’m outraged Democrats are using an economic stimulus bill to promote discrimination... this language is so vague, it's not clear if students can even pray in a dorm room renovated with this funding."
