This is one of the main reasons I originally got pissed with religion and started looking at the situation objectively:
Anglican leaders demanded Monday that the U.S. Episcopal Church unequivocally bar official prayers for gay couples and the consecration of more gay bishops to undo the damage that North Americans have caused the Anglican family.

… and hits on a very Big Brother-esque idea to discourage aircraft hijackings.
Tiny cameras the size of a fingernail linked to specialist computers will be used to monitor the behaviour of airline passengers as part of the war on terrorism.
Fitted to seat-backs, the cameras will record every twitch or suspicious movement before sending the [...]
