The Power of Christ is more powerful than anything satan and his minions can throw at us.

Except for good old Madeline Murray O’Hare, right...? One old, ugly, demented crank was able to limit the Power of Christ to the brick and mortar confines of the church, as regards socio-political relationships...

Christians back then allowed her to win. They backed down, and in the end she got what was coming to her—murdered by her own “ally”.

You seem to deny Christ’s power.

Madeline Murray O'Hare...One old, ugly, demented crank was able to limit the Power of Christ to the brick and mortar confines of the church, as regards socio-political relationships...

The cases O'Hair was involved in that banned Bible reading in schools were decided between 1960 and 1963. But the groundwork was laid years before by McCollum v. Bd of Ed in 1948, and helped by one other decision in 1961:

McCollum v. Board of Education Dist. 71, 333 U.S. 203 (1948)
SCOTUS finds religious instruction in public schools a violation of the establishment clause and therefore unconstitutional.

Torcaso v. Watkins, 367 U.S. 488 (1961)
SCOTUS holds that State of Maryland cannot require applicants for public office to swear that they believe in the existence of God; rule unanimously that a religious test violates the Establishment Clause.

These decisions effectivley render the US Constitution moot, since its moral basis is "Nature and Nature's God." The genius of our Founding is that the political rights identified in the Bill of Rights are a birthright conferred by God, not by man or man's laws. When the high court decided to put the "rights" of atheists on the same footing as the natural rights of believers in God (the God that Western Civilization had previously agreed was above any other god and is the ultimate Creator and power of the universe), they effectively neutralized the Bill of Rights and ushered in the era of Moral Relativity under which we are suffering today.

Without a common moral agreement that wrongdoing and untruthfulness have supernatural consequences because God exists, there is no longer any rational basis for truthful testimony, or in fact for any law, since every man-made law may be challenged. We are living in an order that is merely a habit, only a few more uprisings from complete anarchy.
