if you honestly think this is a threat then you are sadly mistaken. there isn't a snowballs chance in hell of the many christian churches coming together as one super church and changing the face of america.
Who says they have to band "together as one super church"? All they need is an umbrella organization like the NAE.
Evangelicals are ALREADY banding together for the purpose of gaining influence over the policy. Read the article I posted from Harper's, and the NAE website, and the CE website if you doubt that. And by their own admission, evangelicals are really just starting their sustained drive for greater political organization and greater political power. With the Reagan revolution, the election of a right-wing congress, and the Bush dynasty, they are beginning to see success. What in the world makes you think they are not entirely capable of acheiving their goals?
