it seems to me that, overall, the role of christianity in the government (and world politics in general) is in decline. the prevailing trend seems to be a growing opposition to the christian institutions already in place... not a increase of christian influence in total.

I declare that all of the above is grossly false.
One of my basic philosophies is that there is no real good or evil, there is only perspective. In order to judge something as good or evil, you must come from a background that takes issue with said thing. This current government is content to polarize the population by labeling everything as good or evil, based on a Christian set of morals.
"evildoers"
"they hate us for our freedom"
All these moral laws that are being pressed on us.. gay marriage, abortion, drugs, euthanasia... none of these things would be an issue if not for the strong religious 'morality' at work.
