I hear you.
The main problem has been that for most conservatives, this hatred of religion by the left has always been a distant thing, not really having an effect on them or their daily lives. As a result, they've allowed the hate and bigotry to fester and grow, with plenty of loving care and nourishing by the MSM, until it has started to become something big enough so that they can no longer pretend it doesn't affect them.
Will the current excesses by the left be enough to shake us from our lassitude, or will we just say, like we have all along, that it will all go away with time?
I would agree with you to a certain degree.
Our churches have been teaching a doctrine that encourages their congregations to examine themselves to the detriment of our culture. It's the "Me" generation within our sanctuaries that are sincerely seeking God on their own terms and not His, and with as little discomfort and effort as possible. After all, doesn't Jesus wish to make me happy.
Our churches have failed to require believers to exercise their civil responsibilities, which is why our numbers could greatly improve during elections if we considered the impact such an exercise in this privilege would make.
There appears to be a shift in the conservative body towards a more active role in what direction we want our country to travel. Whether or not we lead the charge in the right direction remains to be seen. I will pray that we follow the road less traveled.
