Uh, no, sorry. Protestant churches, on the whole, don’t view government as a redemptive channel. This was part and parcel of the Reformation - splitting government from churches.

The Catholic Church likes to think that they’re in a position to elect or appoint governments. That was their position for a thousand years in Europe, and they were perfectly happy to go to war to defend it.

Protestant followings have been a mixed bag here. But in general the more independent the congregation, the less likely it sees government as a panacea.
