Nothing is black and white and American Christians make it that, "you're either 100% in or nothing," as our friend has written above to me...

All of them don't make it all or nothing. There are millions of tolerant and liberal Christians in the U.S., but they don't get the notoriety of people leading anti-military or anti-gay crusades. 

But I would like to know how the fundamentalists answer the questions I asked above--especially how they accommodate democracy when it includes non-Christians and non-believers.

No one should be afraid to defend his faith, and anyone who wants his values translated into law should not be afraid to explain to the voting public why his views should take precedence over the values of others when such values conflict.
