seaver: if that's true, then it would follow that one can oppose the influence of a particular sector of christianity over public life and not be saying anything about the general relaton of religion--or even of christianity as a whole--to politics. nor would the argument speak to any general question of morality/ethics and their relations to politics. the op was not "how horrible it is that christians have any role on government" but rather posed questions about the (apparent) public acceptance of positions drawn from a very narrow range of christian beliefs--one that happens to work as part of the populist coalition that is the conservative mass base--that is fundamentalist or evangelical protestant churches.
no time at the moment for more.
