One thing evangelicals want is a reprieve from intolerance against their beliefs, values, and practices.

Extremist groups like People for the American Way attack Christians who run for public office as a threat to the 'separation of church and state,' though they never specify why conservatives are any more of a threat than churchmen and church women on the Left who have led religiously inspired causes for decades.

While contemporary non-Evangelicals have virtually reduced faith to 'courageous ignorance,' Evangelicals have hardly been faithful in defending God's objective communication of truth.

The religious opponents of Christian conservatives are presented as moderates.

The secular and religious Left find it convenient to demonize politically conservative Christians.
