I want to see a compelling argument for an increase in the presence of christianity in our government.

Because then we would see a blossoming of compassion, equality, inclusion, forgiveness, tolerance, peace and -- most importantly -- love.
Jesus is a liberal, after all.

I'm an atheist myself, though I went through a Jesus freak phase as a teenager. One thing I noticed during that phase was that I was a total outsider even in church. It became clear to me that the word "Christian" did not seem to have any fixed meaning whatsoever, and many christian leaders were, in my eyes, hypocrites.
I'm now a firm believer in the separation of church and state, regardless of the majority religion.
But I still do like those values I listed above, and wouldn't mind seeing them exercised a little more in government
