I think another issue I have is one of the reasons our society is so messed up, especially in America, is cause our foods are made with horrible ingredients that are making us sick and disabled. Divorce and violence plagues are society. Our healthcare practices are making us sicker. All these factors are necessitating bigger government to maintain order and stabilize things. Christianizing the government won’t help when society is so messed up. This author at one point sounds like he wants to trade in the Constitution for a monarchy as if a Christian monarch is going to solve our problems. These guys want to take bad circumstances, typically created by those who are driven by their lusts, and Christianize the solution. Jefferson hated John Calvin. I don’t think John Calvin is going to be the template for fixing our government at this point and time….

Calvinism, Jefferson feared, heralded the reclamation of the medieval imagination that he believed benighted the world for one thousand years.
Jefferson need not have worried about Virginia. The changes made to the Westminster Confession in 1789 took the last serious teeth out of Calvinist political theology, and most serious Protestants in the Commonwealth saw disestablishment as prudential, if not good. New Englanders and the occasional Carolinian remained more circumspect.
