An Observation on Evangelicalism and Republicanism

This is a random thought that has popped into my head as I watched a slick trailer in church for the National Day of Prayer (did you know it had a trailer complete with a rousing soundtrack, Mount Rushmore, the US constitution, quotes from the founding fathers, a fire-side family praying, and a movie like "save this date" type of ending), and then later listened to countless broadcasts about the NDP on Christian radio.  This is an observation only, I have no comment on it and no theological insight on it except to note it is sometimes hard to see where evangelicalism ends and political agenda begins.  I noticed that certain evangelicals have now filled out the "trinity" of national prayer causes.  To the survival and strengthening of the family, and the overthrow of abortion on demand, they have now added prayers for the upholding of our military forces.  It is at this point that I clamp down on my tongue, or more accurately force my fingers to stop typing.  Observation only, I don't know what I think about that trend yet.  How about you?
