I like to point out to Christians that nowhere in their sacred texts does it say that Christianity must be the "ruling religion," nor does it even say that Christians should try to influence the government. It's supposed to be a heavenly kingdom right? Lay not up your treasures, right? Give unto Caesar, right?
I'd like for someone to point out the scriptural basis for Christendom. Fundamentalists like to claim biblical guidance. Where do they get this from?
The issue you speak of is far more wrapped up in Byzantine political realities and really dates from the 4th and 5th centuries when the fucks really were the only game in town and set about persecuting their own who did not live up to the strict dictates of the imperial court and a handful of scumbag bishops who were in their pockets. I highly recommend "The Jesus Wars" by J. P. Jenkins for a fascinating look at what these psychotic fucks were up to.
