The church doesn't run the country per se. Only indirectly through all the "believers" who of course happen to be conservative, who vote for a certain side and thus give the country it's international political face. It's all connected. Of course hte church isn't formally in charge (that wasn't even implied). So it's futile to even compare the bible to the constitution. The church runs the country in a more subtle way, together with a selected small oligarchy of rich old men who represent all the corporate capital. Religion is (and always was, through history) a perfect tool to keep a common mortal on a leash of fear and ignorance.
