Yeah, but Christians already have religion in their churches. The whole point is to get it back into government, which they feel encourages depravity in the guise of freedom. Remember, as a Christian, one does have freedom! The freedom to choose to accept Jesus and be Saved, or reject him and be damned.

For some reason, the current Fundamentalist Christian mentality seems to believe that, for example, making homosexual marriage legal will somehow lead to more homosexuality. I don't get this whole line of reasoning, and in fact, I think it is probably a big smokescreen. Fundamentalist Christians just don't like other people doing what Fundamentalist Christians don't think they should be doing, so they'd like them to stop. After all, it is for their own good, right?

It kinda boils down to, "I'm right, the rest of you are wrong, so you need to do it my way". When we keep religion and government separated, everyone has equal access to government, and the right to practice their religion without intimidation, interference or imposition of other people's tenets upon our daily lives.

Why is that bad?
