I'm not saying that we need to keep Christian values out of government, I'm saying we need to keep all RELIGIOUS values out of government. No religious value system be it Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, etc. If we don't, we'll have a nation wherein second marriages are prohibited, buying and selling of pork is prohibited, women not wearing burkas are penalized, no business will operate on Saturdays, and restaurants are only allowed to serve fish on Fridays.
Constitutional values are easy. Protect life, liberty, property. If something doesn't endanger another's life, liberty, or property... there is no reason for the GOVERNMENT to be involved.
