You can point out to Christians that they're hypocrites and they respond "yeah, but we're all sinners".
That is hypocritical, but the relationship between Christianity and politics is not really the same as having leaders with a high level of integrity. That is important, but Christians would rather have hypocritical politicians than have a country that is ruled by secular humanism. This seems reasonable to me, although it is ugly to see all of the hypocrites use theocratic language to build up their base.
I am not for theocracy, but I am also not for authoritarian humanism, which will sweep away America if it is not checked faster than you can say "democratic socialism"
