...the separation of Church and State is there for a reason. It's a good reason: once one side of the political debate claims God, then their opponents are against God. A "good heart" matters more than the facts. To change policy is to reflect doubt in God's plan. To question the mortal, fallible men in authority is to question God himself.
And on a gut level, way down in the limbic system, we know/are memetically programmed to believe those against God are not wrong or simply have different opinions, they are evil.
...Let's just say that when one is accused of being unpatriotic because one opposes an Evangelical administration which favours torture, we are all the way through the Looking Glass.
