Americolatry?

Tim Dalrymple, in the hope of genuine conversation, has a post about the accusations of Americolatry.

Jonathan Fitzgerald at Patrol declares that the Restoring Honor rally heralded the birth of a new national religion.  David Sessions at the same magazine writes that “evangelicals…don’t really get” that they should be “far more worried about their own America-worship than they are about Glenn Beck’s theological errors.”  Similar claims are easy to find at the Huffington Post, or Relevant, or any number of blogs.

Yet I am seeing terms thrown around rather brazenly, terms like Christianism, Americolatry, theocracyand so forth.  Even “civil religion” seems to be employed by some of these writers as a synonym (which it is not) for idolatry.  Many of these writers believe that the Religious Right deeply wounded the Christian cause in America, so their concern is understandable.  They warn of a dangerous admixture of politics and religion.  Yet many (perhaps all) would defend other ways of intermixing politics and religion, such as the abolition and Civil Rights movements or contemporary social justice movements.

He has a number of questions, but this is one we could discuss here too:

Finally, what is the evidence that conservative evangelicals have fallen into any of these things?
