Anti-secularity watch

Any recommendations for websites - with RSS-feeds - that report on acts to further theocracy/combat secularity? I've been searching for a while and all I've got is religiousrightwatch.com and jihadwatch.org (and its sibling dhimmiwatch.org). I'm sure that fundies from other religions (especially Judaism and Scientology) are trying their best to rid the world of secularism as well, and I'm not really satisfied with the frequency of updates on RRW, so could anyone supply some links, please?

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but the Internet Infidels board has some subforums related to this issue: Church/State Separation and Positive Atheism & Secular Activism. Most of the news and issues brought up there are American (simply because most of the members there are American) but you might still find some of the info there useful.

Pardon my intrusion with my question, but why are you seeking out information like this?

Personal interest? Scholastic research? other?

This looks interesting (and - unlike TA - they have RSS feeds!). Having only browsed some of the threads, it does seem like its sort of a mining adventure to seek out the news pieces from the general discussion ones, but I've still added them to my toolbar for trying out.
To address your point about this being "exactly" what I'm looking for, then let me just say that I would like a site that both lists the major moves made by the theocrats, but also the small stories about psychos in the local communities. And preferably with links and not too many loaded comments. One can dream.

No need to excuse yourself, that's a valid question. The short answer is that I have a feeling that the main threat against my way of life - and world peace in general - is a growing radicalism within organized religion, and a rise in religious totalitarianism disguised as calls for moral behaviour. Not being an ostrich, I wish to educate myself as much as possible on the phenomenon/non-phenomenon. Unfortunately, most news outlets seem to ignore these matters, and focus on things that I care little about (treatment of the elderly, terror plots, corruption, house prices, politicians personal lives, Tom Cruise etc.).

Carrying the Israeli flag, are you aware of any sites dedicated to watching Judaism (and how it affects the politics of Israel)?
