Although I'm not afraid of religion, I do become nervous at overt attempts to merge it with our political structure.
Your belief that it ought to permeate our political structures, our civil life, and that it is necessary to reinstate our nation's greatness is similar to the theories and justifications for Islamic fundamentalist movements and political-relgious organizations like the Taliban.
