Honduras: ‘Anti-Corruption Party’ Moves Toward Religious State

The Honduran government plans to add the recognition of God to its Constitution and the name of God on the nation’s currency. Human rights groups charge that this is a step towards creating a religious state. The new center-right Anti-Corruption Party aim to comply with campaign promises to give churches more space in the State. Rights experts, however, believe that a secular state provides a guarantee for democracy. Gerardo Torres reports from Central America for teleSUR
