462 Nationalism but Not Theocracy, Why?

Secularists in America express great fear about Christians who bring their faith into the public square, "they want us to live under a theocracy!" But it is an illegitimate fear. It is Christians, first and foremost, who learned to push back against the idolatry of the State and it is Christians who, stemming from a committed moral compass, don't want the state to work immorality (not even for doctrinal ends). My friend Mark and I talk through the ins and outs of theocracy, values, beliefs, morals, and doctrines as we consider how to foster a Christian presence—a seasoning of the nation—into play.
