That was the real point I was making. Many Christians have been lulled into thinking they aren't allowed to talk about certain subjects from the pulpit, but in fact Christianity should effect the government we live under. In fact it will always effect the government we choose. If we are more atheist than Christian, that is the government we will get. When Christians get tired of living under baby killers and sodomites, Muslims and atheists, then they will vote Christ either with a paper ballot or bullets. Christians are somehow convinced they can read Sodom was destroyed by God, but it's OK now to move back into Sodom and live safely. Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome have all come against Israel and were destroyed. The final battle will be the world coming against Israel and they will believe they can beat God. (Psalm 2) In Exodus, Pharaoh went against God's people at the Red Sea knowing there was a pillar of fire in front of them and God took the wheels off the chariots, but they entered the water anyway. People are that stupid, but they do it anyway. Will we turn on Israel and somehow escape the wrath of God?
The mixing of The Bible and politics is what everything rests on. The final solution will be God forming His own government on the earth to rule and reign for 1000 years. We will live under God's rule or be destroyed.
The next time someone says to you that we can't discuss such and such in church, tell them it's in the Bible and the devil is the one telling you not to discuss it. Everything that they think is political is discussed in the Scriptures and God has an opinion on it.
I will also say that as with the Catholic church, the rise of these mega-churches, with lots of revenue flow, will be targeted politically and for the membership numbers (voters). The Emergent Church movement will also play a role as it's bebop Pastors gather up the millennial voters.
Not only are the nations shifting, but equally and in union with are the religious communities and it's leaders....all moving to the day when world governance and those who sit at it's table is set. Religious leaders will be a huge part of this as the political leaders recognize that religion moves the masses.......but it will be a counterfeit religion when it's formed.
If people are not in tune with these changes and the rhythms happening currently it won't matter if there are atheists or not because all will be deceived anyway. We can already see how easily people are deluded already.
