A very articulate evaluation from Rabbi Brad Hirschfield, Huff Post:

"I blame the public officials who invited the participation of evangelists in a process that is meant to respect the ideas and needs of the larger public. These officials abandoned the public they are charged with serving to advocate for their own religious worldviews, and that is a complete failure of leadership for which they should be held accountable."
