A lot of folks still believe that the US was founded as a Christian nation. They want a time when "god's laws" and "the laws of the land" are the same. (They never were, but never mind that.) Mostly, though, they're angry because the church has lost power and control and influence over the lives of everyday citizens, and they want it BACK.
It wasn't real in the first place and it isn't going to happen.
I actually am highly amused to watch the evangelistic right turning off most of the voting block because they're too stupid to catch on to the changing demographics of the country.
And yet again, they're about to find out what happens when you piss off most of the major voting constituency. I actually started cracking up watching Trump bitching about Hispanics. That the christian right thinks they can win an election without Hispanics is actually hilarious. Gerrymandering and trying to suppress minority voting rights only goes so far.
The christian right is increasingly becoming a joke.
