I think you are reading things into my statement that aren't there. There are Christians ike yourself, and of several different types, that believe in Christianity and practice it in their way. Evangelical Christians are a specific subset that PUSH the beliefs onto other people. Imposing the belief system upon everyone is the definition of evangelical. You are one of the more moderate Christian flavors that does not champion the imposition of Christianity upon all people. I'm simply saying that a government based upon the idea of forcing all residents into a specific belief system is going to require an enormous security/surveillance apparatus to measure people's adherence to these beliefs. Therefore it is cognitively dissonant (or willfully ignorant) to believe that evangelism is compatible with the goal of "small government".
