To be fair, I am not sure if the author of this article is speaking accurately about the "Christian right". Maybe a few vocal leaders, but not the average voter, and probably not the average thought-leader either.
I'm in pretty conservative Christian circles. I obviously don't speak for everyone, but I don't think the average conservative Christian has any grand visions of imposing their religion via government. Most would say that you can't do that, and doing so would be inconsistent with the New Testament teachings.
I think most people are just reacting against the government imposition of modern woke ideology, which many view as out of control. They react so strongly against it that they want the government to act more to stamp it out. That's all.
I'd wager it's a disproportionately online view, but you do see it. It's also sort of cyclical that conservatives get seduced by the ring and think they might just be able to wield it productively.
I can't fathom why they think this could work. Over 90% of the federal bureaucracy is Democrats and the courts will strike down any attempt to impose Christianity.
Regardless of what they think an ideal government should do, this actual government is never going to work that way.
