Let's see... Pro:
Most proponents of Christian influence in Government cite quotes from the founding fathers, Supreme Court Judges and Presidents among other dignitaries and use legal texts such as the Declaration of Independence and it’s reference to a “creator” to promote their view that this country has always been intended to be a “Christian nation”.
There are varying degrees as to the belief on how much influence the church is to have over government. But the unifying belief among most Christians is that the United States was founded on Biblical principles basic to Christianity and to Judaism from which it flowed.”, therefore any attempts by what they describe as “secularists” to remove God from government are to be challenged. The main argument is that any omission of God in our Constitution is simply an oversight that can be explained away by the fact that everyone who founded this country accepted the fact that God was the source of civic authority as proven by the aforementioned quotes and documents.
Most polarizing issues such as the ban on prayer in school, the abortion debate, gay marriage, even the posting of the Ten Commandments in government courthouses can all be traced by the pro religion in government advocates to a country that has lost its moral compass due to God being systematically removed from our lives by the secularists. The push to fight back over this perceived attack is strong and the chosen avenue the fundamentalist right has chosen is the courts. Either by attacking sitting judges or electing judges with a predetermined agenda to overturn rulings or vote against decisions unfavorable to their perception of what is moral and right.
