They want a Christian caliphate.

My dear friend....you wholly captured the intent of my O/P.....

The fundies consider America a Christian nation. That's what they want. A Christian caliphate, which is just another way of saying 'Christian nation'.

Then let the NEO-Crusades begin.....

There is much talk about winning the evangelicals' vote and which candidate is more beloved than others to gain evangelicals' support in an election. You have perpetual candidates such as Huckabee or Santorum, trying to out-Jesus one another, and even the reality-TV star, Trump, citing (poorly) the New Testament.

We are a country founded on the primary tenet that government and religion are best kept as far apart as possible......We deride theocracies as being oppressive and many among our right wing fellow citizens firmly think that Islam is a religion full of zealots.

Yet, among evangelicals, there seems to be a desire to have a president who would mirror their beliefs.
So, I ask again, what do evangelicals want from their elected officials, and how would such desires really differ from religious zealotry in governance?

We are a country founded on the tenet that forcing you to join a particular religion shouldn't happen. It's a certain ideology that thinks religion and government should be kept totally apart, that is, until they want to use religion to support things like social welfare.

They have not been around that long, in their current form. Dumbass
Give them time, all socialism robs Peter to pay Paul. The Eurozone is on life support, China's masses are not going want to live in 3rd world conditions forever, the only thing going for Canada is that they border the US.

All in good time, socialism burns itself out. Delicate childish concepts always look good on paper... But you know what they say about that.
