Christianity is only tame because it has been largely unable to overcome the inroad rational secular enlightenment has made in most of the Christian world's educated classes, consequently it has been unable to preserve any public administration which genuinely does not distinguish between what is Christian and what is good in any country of consequence.
If there were again to be a Christian theocratic administration in a country of any consequence, as Christian conservatives of all stripes works with all their animal cunning to bring about, I have little doubt Christianity in such a state will turn fundamentalist and regain most of its 11th century virulence every bit as fast as the NAZI regime in Germany revealed its genocidal tendencies after 1933.
