I guess I'm splitting hairs a bit. When I think of theocracy, I think of the state only allowing one religion and/or requiring everyone to be a part of that religion. What these Evangelicals really want is to feel that society respects them and holds them up as the "big men" and there are laws that reflect that. It's like that law in Alabama or Mississippi that requires "In God We Trust" posted in every classroom. It's not about trying to turn more people into Evangelicals, it's a flex that's supposed to make Evangelicals feel like they still have a position of privilege and get to call the shots. But again, I'm probably splitting hairs to finely here.
