Another interesting article on Harpers about Christianity and America. As is typical, it’s pretty hard on the ‘religious right’ but it’s still thought-provoking. Sample quote:
Are Americans hypocrites? Of course they are. But most people (me, for instance) are hypocrites. The more troubling explanation for this disconnect between belief and action, I think, is that most Americans—which means most believers—have replaced the Christianity of the Bible, with its call for deep sharing and personal sacrifice, with a competing creed.
