It seems to me that Christians fail to understand Jesus' teaching about rendering onto God and rendering on to Caesar.
It is more than coins, taxes, religion and government.
It is understanding the 'Permanent' and the 'temporal' and not trying to use the tools of the one in the sphere of the other.
