So you believe that participation by traditional Christian believers in politics and their exercising their civic rights under our constitution constitutes a "threat"? So, was America a theocracy for the two centuries of its constitutional existence because almost all political officials have been believing Christians? Do you believe that Christians should somehow be excluded from the judiciary by religious tests such as that proposed by Senator Schumer (i.e., one who has "deep personal beliefs" that abortion is immoral should on that basis be excluded from the judiciary)? In any event, please cite one major traditional Christian public speaker who remotely says anything about overthrowing our constitutional system and imposing a theocracy. Please cite one scintilla of evidence that Christian believers in this country want to outlaw the practice of other religions or no religions or "impose" their beliefs on others the way the mullahcracy in Iran does or that of the Taliban did. And why is it that it is perfectly fine when liberals use the government to impose their moral beliefs on the rest of society, e.g., on sexual activity through public school indoctrination and government promotion of homosexual activity through civil same sex "marriage"? Liberals essentially want to "establish" their own liberal social religion and enforce it using the government. Just look at the hate-filled anti-Catholic and anti-Christian statements of the Board of Supervisors of San Francisco in recent days.
Depends. If they intend to use politics to overthrow the Constitution, yes. As we've seen in Afghanistan in the last week, democratic government isn't always consistent with civil liberties.

At some points, in some parts of America, yes.

As you are well aware, I hope, religious tests for public office are unconstitutional.

While I don't agree with same sex marriage, it sure isn't an imposition of moral beliefs on the rest of society. No one is forcing anyone to marry anyone of the same sex, as far as I know. It's very different from, say, executing homosexuals, adulterers, and disobedient children, as the CRs want to do.
