I found when I was a teenager Church sermons did not really speak to me anymore.  Most of my friends quit attending Church so I did too. 

I try to read my Bible regualarly and read spiritual books once in awhile.  I know that the Churches in my area do not have a weekly Bible Study.  I volunteer for local charities.  My friends are all outside of the Church so in the new milenium is Church even relevant?  I still believe in God and pray I just don't think that I need Church to do it.

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?
