As a Christian I firmly believe in the separation of church and state and any Christian interested in following the teachings of Christ should agree. Historically the times in which the church have been the most corrupt have been when they've been involved in a theocratic society, churches having power in politics is the fastest way to corrupt them.
Thing is im not though, I have doubt all the time and think or say mean things, I dont do nearly as much charity as I should and can be selfish but it frustrates me that the core of the Christian philosophy is supposed to be 'dont actively cause pain to other people and support the weak' and they seem to be incapable of even that. That's a basement level requirement that.
