Simple as all get-out, NC. Read AF's posts...to him and others like him, their version of Christianity is the "One Truth". However, they don't like the fact that others do not recognize this...it hurts their egos or something. Thus, they want the government to FORCE those others to recognize their "superiority".
Like AF said, they'll start small if they have to. Part of it is wishing, hoping, and rationalizing America as a "Christian Nation", in the desire that someday, somehow, a court or a legislature will agree. Then, unfettered, they can begin to shape all laws thusly.
Of course, they'll have the fun of pointing their gnarled fingers at the rest of us and saying, "UNBELIEVERS! We're BETTER than you!"

LC, a lot of them are already doing that: You can feel the haughtiness and self perceived superiority dripping off of their words.
One would think, after the last 70+ years, that they would understand the danger of giving the government this kind of power.
