On/File: November 2004

01: ChristianExodus.org is part of a small separatist movement among conservative Christians who are opting out of the political system.

The group is seeking to get groups of 12,000 people to migrate to South Carolina in hopes of creating a Christian state that will be governed by the Ten Commandments. The group was formed because of disenchantment with the Republican administration in stemming legalized abortion, same-sex marriage and the removal of the Ten Commandments from the Alabama judicial building.

ChristianExodus.org, co-founded by 28-year-old Cory Burrell, has only 600 participants but hopes to have 50,000 to 70,000 by 2016.
