Imposing Christian governance over a whole nation without full citizen consent raises many redflags, unanswered by advocates of xtian nationalism:

• How will religionists choose which evangelists, preachers, prophets and influencers will be in the highest leadership positions? How will the inevitable disagreements and fierce power struggles be decided?

• Who will be allowed to choose leaders? All citizens, or just some? Who can not participate?

• If prophets have conflicting messages from God, who decides which one is really God’s?

• If prophecy is in conflict with the constitution, which one should prevail?

• How could society remove a corrupt or immoral religious/government leader once installed into power? Who could judge and remove the person?

• Who decides which groups of people are allowed to participate in society, and which would be excluded?

Democracy has answers for all of these questions. Religion does not.
