The duty of civil government to obey God is the same.


Actually, the Bible commands us to obey civil government irregardless of its religious views.

Because their duty is the same, regardless of their religious views.
And we are only to obey government to a point.
God is the one that must decide that point, not man.
Otherwise, we are guilty of idolatry.,

No it doesn't.

It says let every soul be subject to the higher powers. Every soul. Where the king's command is not compatible with the law of God, it is an illegitimate and immoral command.

Well said.
The reason we are to submit to an unGodly government is only because they are still there to do God's service. IT does not mean we must follow every unGodly edict.
