Is it a good idea for churches to be so closely involved in the Government?

No. When things go wrong, the Church will inevitably bear some of the responsibility if it is closely involved in government. Moreover, there is no one Church. Whichever Church has the most influence in government will be resented by members of other Churches. Finally, if the Church seeks to influence government, sooner or later government will seek to influence the Church.
