How is it that we have drifted away from being an informed, active, knowledgeable, and dedicated group of highly motivated Christian patriots to a group of impotent and anemic sheep?

Note: I highly recommend reading Vernard Eller's political masterpiece Christian Anarchy: Jesus' Primacy Over the Powers to learn a more radical way for a Christian to view the state (I don't necessarily agree with Eller on everything he wrote, but it is still well worth the read).
