JUst gotta point to one more pointed set of questions from Jim Wallis at Sojourners:

Take Back the Faith, Sojourners Magazine/September 2004

The loss of religion’s prophetic vocation is terribly dangerous for any society. Who will uphold the dignity of economic and political outcasts? Who will question the self-righteousness of nations and their leaders? Who will question the recourse to violence and the rush to wars long before any last resort has been unequivocally proven? Who will not allow God’s name to be used to simply justify ourselves, instead of calling us to accountability?
