"Only if NO religion is allowed to exert any political control is a society truly free."

I would say the optimal goal is to allow all religions to function free of government interference, and that people of all faiths should be allowed to participate in the government. I agree that trying to control or manipulate one over the other via political means is bad.

"And I *AM* Christian, last I checked."

I never made any statements about your faith either way. I only spoke for myself. I couldn't assume or put those words in your mouth.
