I never claimed they aren't trying to influence politics, but they aren't demanding the church should have full control either.
Religious people are delusional, bu luckily the Bible does have some limitations to the influence of their religious delusions, that unfortunately Islam doesn't have. And you can see the difference very clearly in that regard between Christian and Muslim countries. Where AFAIK Turkey is the only somewhat secular Muslim dominated country thanks to Atatürk.

Yes, many are doing exactly that.

The bible frequently contradicts itself. Everyone has their own headcanon. There is no limit when you tolerate magical thinking.

I can agree that muslim countries are generally worse than christian ones.

But a christian nation has the potential to be just as horrific as any muslim one. The foundation is "submit completely to violent authority."

Why are we tolerating ANY death cults? Why are we allowing grown adults to make shit up to everyone's detriment?
