Strangely enough, I will have to echo some of the atheists on this board when I say that this type of Christian is using Christianity for a crutch and frankly, is looking for martyrdom (even in the form of an hour or two in the local pokey).
To me, a true Christian speaks out when real injustice is being done and does not go looking for something to be offended at.
They recognize and respect that other people do not share their faith and that the government is really an entity outside of their faith (this is NOT the same as shelving your religion if/when you become a public official).
So in short, I do not think much of these people in Alabama or how they are professing their 'faith'.
