I think that in the case of Oklahoma city the religion aspect was just a background thought. The idea was that some people got it in their minds that they were angry enough at the government to do something about it. While they may have considered it their Christian duty to do what they did ( I could be wrong here ) they didn't run about screaming for all Christians to kill anyone associated with the government as demanded by their God. Their beef was with how the country is run, and their frustration at having no voice and no control turned to violent action.
Would you consider that radical Islam, while not an official representative of any government , has control of some governments - in a similar fashion of how radical Christians while not representing the US government still have quite a bit of control over it?
