The point is this: SOME Christians are pretty scary and are seeking a theocracy. Others, not so much. Many of us are pretty much "live and let live".

Non-Christians should not automatically associate Christianity with Evil. The resulting defensiveness alienates moderate Christians from the liberal discussion. Although I never said so in my essay, people thought that merely linking a Judeo-Christian heritage with the founding of our nation meant that I want all non-Christians out. I don't. They think it means I advocate a theocracy. I don't. I just want a place at the table, the same as you. A lot of non-Christians say they just want to be respected and valued as part of our society. As a Christian, I am saying I just want to be respected and valued as part of the Democratic Party.
