Do a little googling on Jesus Seminar and you'll find that you can probably read the historically-likely words of Jesus in less time than it takes to read this thread.
But the point is a good one. Christians who take the (alleged) words of Jesus more seriously than the institutions of Christianity are going to have serious doubts about connecting their religion with politics. Anabaptists are a good example. I think it was the result of the printing press and bibles in the vernacular allowing people to read the text that resulted in the political eviction case against Christianity.
If that's true, the evolution of secular politics is an historical accident, unlikely to be repeated unless similar conditions of a misfit occur.
