Christian doesn't automatically equal dangerous idiot although you seem to think the shoe fits. I laid it out for you what makes up a dangerous idiot, deserving every bit of contempt - a literalist, who rather believes in 2000 year old scribblings than what contemporary science reveals.
And you have failed to tell me what the actual danger is if a politician believes in a literal Genesis? Someone who believes in a literal interpretation would just say that the earth was created with age or that the flood created the fossils or whatever. Regardless of whether that is correct or not, what is the "clear and present danger" of such a person to our country AND the detriment that it has caused for the first two centuries?
