What's the point of the discussion then if you are dismissing the foundation and intent of those who made this country? If anything it has historical relevance because historically we have been a nation of christians.
At any rate I don't think it's an issue of more christianity. Many Christians in America are feeling attacked, in the midst of a culture war, they feel that people are trying to take something from them. So they do whats smart and they take their beef to the polls. They push on the issues that they feel matters, they appeal to those they put in power.
Why is less Christianity good or better? Despite the foundations of our country it still has been largely secular in the political realm, the moral issues are one thing, and it's now becoming an issue of political struggle amongst the various branches. Just because George Bush mentions god in his speeches, or says that religious charities should get money, or some judge wants the 10 commandments behind his bench, doesn't mean the nation is turning Fundamentalist Christian.
