That doesn't sound dangerous at all!
Christians are the majority in the USA, would you rather they enshrine into law you must believe in Jesus?
What you most likely mean is that you want to force other people to follow your point of view, which is a dangerous power when granted to everybody, not just the people you agree with.
I'm not saying I disagree with you on this issue, just that the method of enacting change should adapt to be one where the people changing want to change, and consent to it, because you've convinced them - not because you've forced them, whether physically or situationally.
Christians may be a majority. But extremist Christians with desires on invading privacy and enforcing their religion on others are a minority.
