I just came across this article at Virtue Online about how the political left-wing used to work with and through the Christian churches but really isn't anymore.  I wonder if people here feel the same way.

Have we become so affluent (or co-opted by consumerism) that we don't have much to complain about, or fight for anymore?

If that's true, then what is the religious activism of the right-wing about?
