is the one true faith and all the rest of us are heathens, infidels and apostates.

This is why they proselytize, have a heavy lobbying presence, and want more power.

There is a substantial subset of the evangelicals (dominionists and reconstructionists) who want a christian theocracy in this country and to wipe out Islam as their greatest rival and threat.

The freedom of religion thing is complete and utter bullshit. They want freedom of their religion to the exclusion of all others.
