I get that you guys don't like these people and that you don't like Republicans, but let's be ojective here and not throw around false accusations.
They haven't said they want it to be a Christian nation, they've said that it is a Christian nation; I've already pointed out to you that in that video, Rubio made the claim that the constitution is founded on Christian principles, a claim numerous teabaggers have made, which is both a lie and an endorsement of the idea of rule by God, the definition of theocracy. Their platforms are based on religious principles, defunding Planned Parenthood, forbidding abortion, overturning same-sex marriage, the denial of climate change made by numerous senators is made vocal on religious grounds. These people want America to be a theocracy in all but name.
A theocracy would involve much more than just those things though.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
