You speak of national immorality, at the root of every sin, national or personal, is the violation of the first commandment. The free exercise clause is a gross violation of God's commandments. I said evangelicals have rejected out of neglect and ignorance the history of the church. Someday maybe they will go back and see what happen in their political and ecclesiological forefather's history long before the Americas were colonized. Do Christians even think that Caesar owes God absolute obedience in "every" place of his life...doesn't seem so.
