  Unfortunately, the creepy way in which politicians are expected by Christians to parade their religion around has made this an issue. 
  
  
  I would think some of the very best at not letting weird delusions pollute the government would be atheists, agnostics, Universal Unitarians, Quakers, moderate/liberal Catholics of the liberation theology type, nominal Jews, nominal Protestants, etc. 
  
  
  But even "evangelical Christian" is a very broad term and not ALL of them are unhinged by a long shot. Thankfully.
