The largest Church in this country is the Catholic Church, so does that make this a Catholic Nation?
Many years of religious wars between Christian sects over the correct Christian religion.
Get ready.

When a theocracy takes over America, which church (Christian of course) will be in charge?
Will the others accept their rule?
Many Catholics/Protestants consider the other to be false Christians.
Would they accept Mormons as the rulers?
Westboro Baptist Church?
The new rulers will be political Christians rather than Christians of faith.

We have plenty of people who want to be the Christian Ayatollah of America.
The Christian version of Sharia Law.
