I'm reading a book called Unholy by Sarah Posner, and she writes that the Christian RWers were actually disappointed that Reagan didn't do more for them, because he still believed there was separation of church and state, or at least didn't push for policies that went too far. Although, there are huge and glaring gaps in my knowledge of what Reagan did do (although I remember the Iran-Contra hearings).
