There is more to the Texas governor's ideas about a Constitutional convention. Another agenda is to open the country up to marrying governing to the Bible and Ten Commandments. This movement started years ago and they are more determined than every to accomplish the goal of making government and religion the same.
Marrying religion with the stand down is just one symptom of what is going on. And some GOP presidential candidates saying that they are on a mission from God or God speaks to them should alarm us all.

A Public Policy Polling (PPP) national survey conducted between February 20th and February 22nd of Republican voters, found that an astonishing 57 percent of Republicans want to dismantle the Constitution, and establish Christianity as the official national religion. Only 30 percent oppose making Christianity the national religion.
Although the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment clearly states that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, GOP voters want to cast aside that provision and impose Christianity as the official American religion.
While a number of red states have passed statutes forbidding the implementation of Islam-based sharia law in their states, Republicans apparently have no misgivings about turning the United States into a Christian theocracy. The polls crosstabs reveal that support for making Christianity the official religion is strongest among Mike Huckabee (94 percent), Rick Perry (83 percent), and Ben Carson (78 percent) supporters.
