do they feel happy since from now on they will be able to focus on spiritual matters rather than mundane ones???
or would it be difficult for them to adjust to a situation where their influence is every time more limited???

The influence of Christianity and other religions is still depressingly strong. Once they are shelved with other past gods in the humanities section, along with Zeus, Zoroastra, Mithra, and the rest, only then will people find more substantive ways to extert their influence, and do some real good in the world.

The world is giving into evil more and more
everyday,as history repeats itself.
Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall but the christian is always there.
I would have to say they focus on spiritual
aspects rather than mundane ones to stay
happy.

The loss of power would mean greater freedom in some respects. I'm no christian, but I can see it as a mixed bag.
For the record it is not possible to separate religion and politics because religion is a kind of politics and every church I had ever attended has a large share of petty power struggles. It may be possible to separate religion and government though.

Africa and the less well educated nations are NOW being targeted by every branch of Christianity. Religion is slowly fading in Old Europe, and newly rising in the Third World. Education is the ONLY known antidote.

Relief, actually. It is an unconditionally horrible idea to mix religion and politics. I truly believe that we will not have peace in this world until the politics of all nations are separated from religion.

It is still God's world when He is ready to blow the whistle and tell us its time to go home it really isn't going to make a bit of difference who had the political power in this world.
It's who had faith in His Word, that is going to count, and the numbers continue to grow despite persecution and harassment.

It does not effect me if that is what God wants but if it is not what God wants than good luck to those who are trying or forcing the Christians from political power!

Politics doesn't matter...so what?
There are over 100 million underground evangelical Christians in communist China....
I think that's proof enough that the Bible and God have no boundaries...that politics does not stop truth.

We are happy because it is a sign of the times. The worse things get, the closer we are until Jesus comes.

America is losing political power because it's becoming godless. How does that make you feel?
