A fair question, Jim.
First, in the case of Reagan and the current G.W.Bush, despite that a majority of the nation elected them, they were/are still vilified throughout our culture by non-supporters as closed-minded fanatics and idiots. Even though Christians are the majority.

For example :




Second, just because secularist/liberal activists and judges have made a concerted effort to suppress religious freedom in the U.S. , but haven't successfully leveraged a pro-Christian president out of the White House, doesn't mean that there hasn't been a massive concerted effort to undermine religious freedom.



You said "excluded."

None of your examples points to exclusion.

And it's more accurate to say, I think, "SOME liberal activities and judges..."

You don't like broad, sweeping generalizations pointed at you, do you? You wouldn't like it if I found some Christian doing something I found detestable and then lumped you all into that, would you?

What's bugging you, I think, is that the country isn't as Christian as you want it to be. Where I see it, it's more than Christian enough (see again, Bush, G.W.). We cannot have a theocracy (You and I have surely had this talk before).

The Founding Fathers didn't invoke Christianity as the nominal theory for guiding the actions of the country and they did that, we have to believe, for a reason.

Doesn't behavior such as al Quaeda's tell you that we can't run a country according solely to a specific faith doctrine?

We all wear a green carnation.
