Certainly it has. Let's face it in about 400AD when christianity mixed with Rome, it became more political, eventually as powerful. That went on for hundreds of years, along with mass wars, torture, etc.. all in the name of God. Eventually man saw the evil of it and secular law became more powerful. However, residue from our past is still in politics today and many would love a christian theocracy running things. The problem is any time this has happened it was used to control people, not help them.
The GOP is basically for corporations, non funding of programs for the poor, etc, then they want God in government. I'm not sure what God these people serve, Christ commanded to take care of the poor, sick, widows, children, etc....they certainly don't want any of that through government, but have no problems pushing religious ideals through government.
