America the ???

Christianity Today's blog: Out of Ur, has a couple of posting on confusing the kingdom of God with the kingdom of conservative american politics:
part 1

part 2

When Gregory Boyd, pastor of Woodland Hills Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, preached about the danger of mingling the mission of the church with conservative politics he ignited passionate responses on both sides, and 1,000 people left the church. In part two of an excerpt from Boyd’s new book, The Myth of a Christian Nation (Zondervan 2006), he says much of this passion is fueled by the false belief that America is a Christian nation and that the church’s role is to reinforce that belief.

What gives the connection between Christianity and politics such strong emotional force in the U.S.? I believe it is the longstanding myth that America is a Christian nation.

It is pretty obvious that the USA is not a a Christian nation, when he preaches "about the danger of mingling the mission of the church with conservative politics... and 1,000 people" leave the church.

And we thought things were messed up here in Canada.
It's time for revival.
