Religious views[edit] Beyond law and philosophy, some Christians refuse to vote, carry arms, or participate in civil government in any way, often leading to their persecution, as happened to Anabaptists, their descendants including the Amish and Mennonites, Quakers, and, in the 20th Century, Jehovahs Witnesses in many countries, believing by not participating they are closer to the Kingdom of God, since Jesus answered (Pilate), My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight (to defend him). - John 18:36. For them, the term Christian nation cannot be a valid governmental position, leaving only Christian people, possibly in Christian communities, beyond which are the things which are Caesars - Matthew 22:21.
