I don’t have personal experience with it, but the name would suggest that it is a religious-oriented clinic. Perhaps NARTH could claim that it is scientific and religious, but I can’t see how it could fairly claim to be solely scientific with no religious bent.

Peter Sprigg, a Senior Fellow at conservative establishment Family Research Council? One night he strategizes with the coalition that wants to change the constitution, then the next night he schmoozes with those who, if left to their own wishes, would de-gay every LGB person in the Tar Heel State? As I said: Speaks volumes.

One quick trip to Wikipedia should have been enough to make him at least realize he needed to do some fact checking. I’m flummoxed 🙂
