The Secular Coalition for America is opening chapters nationwide to promote the separation of religion and government at the state level. The group has already established two chapters in Alabama and Arizona, and plans to establish another eight in the following days.

But in one of those states, Kentucky, the SCA has already received push-back from Brother Lee Watts of God & Country Ministry. Watts, the self-proclaimed “chaplain to the Kentucky state government,” has encouraged Christians to lobby against the group and participate in their conference call on Wednesday.

The SCA told Raw Story on Tuesday that they are not particularly concerned with anyone who tries to disrupt the organizing call, because they have the ability to maintain control. But they don’t view the Kentucky pastor as merely an annoyance, either.

“Watts spends a great deal of time at the state Capitol meeting with politicians and attempting to insert his particular brand of religion into the state’s secular government,” Lauren Anderson Youngblood, Communications Manager for the SCA, told Raw Story. “And Kentucky does not have a good record when it comes to proposing this type of legislation.”

The group noted that Watts spends five days a week at the Kentucky Capitol, giving Bible lessons and hosting bi-weekly prayer breakfasts.

I've never once used either of those acronyms - b/c I've never encountered anything that deserved them. Until NOW!

Can you IMAGINE!?!? Oh, lawdy, that'd make my day.
