In response:
1) I don't advocate some "fundamentalist" chrisitian government. Its all of your assumptions, that because I'm christian, I some how think everyone should be christian too is the exact reason I asked this question.
2) I couldn't agree more that government and religion don't mix. I don't like religion as an institution, it is ran by humans, who are by nature flawed.

This belief led to the Crusades, among other historical atrocities. This and many other things make Christianity an unfit model for a national government.

You sir are misinformed. Before the Muslims took over the holylands they were in Christian control. So they attacked first, the christians were only attempting to regain what was once in their control.

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

1) I already answered about the political
2) whats wrong with people having religion in their lives that instills good principles like "Love thy Neighbor". Or Put Christianity aside, all religion have good stuff to say, they instill morals, this country could sure use some.
3) As far as reinstating christianity in this country although I would like it, I'm not here to force anything. As a christian I realize people have free will and its not my job to tell them how to live. But if this country forgets where it came from and who she was (what everyone is definently doing) then we are doomed to fall.
BTW while all you people knock the catholics church for her past sins, if it weren't for the church 1) we for sure would not be at the point we are now due to the Dark ages and 2) We all would probably be Spanish speaking muslims who are still stuck in the 12th century AD.
