Do Christians have equal rights/representation in the U.S.?

For the sake of those who have trouble comprehending, A Christian is represented as "A" single person. A Christian is not a "Group." Just as "secular person" is not a group of disbelievers. Each person has her/his own set of beliefs and disbeliefs. But if a certain powerful secular community gets their wish in the future, we will see a change in balance of "equal" rights in the "church vs. state" Ruling. So what do you think will happen to this previous ruling should this powerful minority group get control?

One might argue that they have greater rights.

Absolutely.
But Church vs. State is really a cut-and-dried case. The founding fathers wrote the Bill of Rights to include freedom of religion, and that included freedom from public forum. After all, they were escaping from that very thing in England, were they not?
And furthermore, suggesting that Christians don't have equal representation makes you look foolish. If Christians cannot argue their points intellectually, they should find something else to crusade/whine about...

The term "equal rights" refers to citizens of the U.S., not to organizations....
The congregation of the church, as individuals, have equal rights....
The "equal" representation of the churches is covered in the First Amendment..... read it.

Yes.. they vote in greater numbers than any other group that is why the laws skew in their favors
