An important quote from Hauerwas,  from the video I reference in my previous post

According to Yoder,  Christianity has been transformed by what is called The Constantinian shift”. Yoder’s understanding of the significance of that shift did not entail speculation about the sincerity of Constantine’s conversion.  But rather,  Yoder was much more interested in the ecclesiological and Christological implications of the church becoming the legimating institution for empire.

Which is what one gets the distinct impression that many in the Religious Right are ultimately concerned with.  The zeal with which they argue FOR America and against “anti-Americanism” far exceeds the zeal and emotion they exhibit for what they would identify as “theological concerns”.
