1. the answer is on the site
http://www.wallbuilders.com/aboutus/index.htm
"Why the Name WallBuilders?
In the Old Testament book of Nehemiah, the nation of Israel rallied together in a grassroots movement to help rebuild the walls of Jerusalem and thus restore stability, safety, and a promising future to that great city. We have chosen this historical concept of “rebuilding the walls” to represent allegorically the call for citizen involvement in rebuilding our nation’s foundations. As Psalm 11:3 reminds us, “If the foundations be destroyed, what shall the righteous do?”
..
WallBuilders is an organization dedicated to the restoration of the moral and religious foundation on which America was built
...
educating the nation concerning the Godly foundation of our country;"
..

I wonder what these folks think of the creationism/evolution debate wrt education.
PNAC also says it serves to educate the nation (and government).
These Wallbuilders look to be a christian morality version of PNAC.

3. To the contrary; it's a good idea to know what group is pro-theocracy.
In case you haven't noticed, it's part and parcel of what we're fighting against. Kinda rude of you to denigrate his post.
