To demand that Christians consider political issues only from non-Christian
perspectives is, of course, absurd, and political advocacy by Christian
groups is not, of itself, a problem. The problem is the tendency of the more
enthusiastic groups to transgress the separation of Church and state and
insist that doing whatever they see as God's will takes priority over the
Constitution.
