Why do those of the world assume God needs their ways and help to forward His agenda? Presumptuous, no? God uses what man does contrary to God for His own purposes.Even though no government is perfect, some methods are way better than others.

Not so. Ever since the Garden man put our will before God's. The kingdom is in the hearts of men but they have to let it override the will of man that is also in there. Animal nature learning to become of spirit. The is why the Gospel of the Kingdom can take any abuse and it never ruffles a feather. BTW those residing in the future Kingdom, as taught by Jesus , will be those who repented of the will of man and allowed themselves to be changed. More questions and less attacks and it may become clear. We all started out under the will of man after all so we know how diffiecult Jesus' Gospel can be. It's the upside down Kingdom .

Sometimes I am uncomfortable about a society that separates Church and State, but then I realize how necessary it is, because a religious society is a dangerous idea in this fallen world
Why do you think Christ will return and rule a physical kingdom? It is necessary.
He doesn't but he has created us and made us part of his agenda.
It's ok. Sometimes one has to confront others.@David Cabrera I apologize for helping in taking your op off topic.
It will be His government based on the will of God and His Kingdom, which is loving neighbour as self. Exists nowhere in the governments under mankind now. hence the need to change to match, Pay Him now or pay Him later..
Can you tell me how two opposing systems can work together? would not one have to sell out in order to do so? How did the Kingdom and the State (world of man) align themselves otherwise?
Correct. Good point. The East is a lot more complicated in in regards to church and state. The west was more feudal much longer because the of the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West.Western monarchies you mean

Why you attack me? I am just asking a question.Why do those of the world assume God needs their ways and help to forward His agenda? Presumptuous, no? God uses what man does contrary to God for His own purposes.
What options would there be?Perhaps this inquiry needs to include an explanation of what "best...for Christianity" is supposed to mean.
Besides that point, how do you enforce the first four commandments, with the two great commandments, on unbelievers who are alienated from the life of God?
