Are Evangelical Christians really the right people to be charged with determining US foreign policy ?

Yes, because they represent the values of the people that elected them.

@DallasCowboysFan But they are not the majority of the people who live in our country and pay taxes.Taxation without representation for those who are [b]not[/b] evangelical Christians ? That wouldn’t work for long.

@bijouxbroussard The Pew Research Center 2014 survey in the United States identified the evangelical percentage of the population at 25.4 percent.

@bijouxbroussard They don't have to be the majority, they just have to be the majority in each congressional district that shows up at the voting booth.
Only 58-60 percent of all eligible voters actually vote in each presidential election. Less in odd years.

@DallasCowboysFan Nonetheless, taxation without representation cannot stand. More people voted this past November, and possibly enough have been shaken up for the trend to continue. It has also prompted a variety of candidates to run for office who might not have in times past. I think they too now realize that the threat of becoming disenfranchised again is very real.
