Dichotomy of Faith and Politics

Some Christians hold to a conservative faith in private, yet they hold to a secularist liberal political philosophy. They hold a dichotomy, believing that religious faith has no place in public morality. Their favorite verse is "Judge not lest you be judged."

I couldn't live with such a dichotomy. Faith should unify my world view, taking all the diverse issues of life to produce meaning. There is another verse which says, "Why don't you judge for yourselves what is right?" (Luke 12:57)

Christians should use their minds to the fullest and not yield part of it to the secularist atheistic political philosophy.
