This is why we need to fight every Christian politician who wants to sneak a theocracy in through the backdoor. We already know what happened when Christianity dominated European politics up until a few hundred years ago. Give them the chance to turn back the clock to the 11th century, the way that secularism was subverted by fundamentalism in the Islamic world, and we'll end up with the same sort of nightmare they have today. Christianity is fundamentally just as violent as Islam, it's just that humanist ideas have crept in and neutered the fundamentalists of the religion. If we give them their balls back, they'll be applying hot irons to ours before long.
