it is wise to renounce our sins, insofar as possible, not only as individuals, but as a society. Does that mean we should stop being a secular society? Become a religious culture? Why not a theocracy? Go all the way. God permits evil in the world, and it strikes both the just and the unjust. So why be religious if you will be shat upon just as much as anyone else? And doesn't this sound like a justification of an observation? It is observed that everyone gets nailed by evil. There is a God. Therefore God permits it to strike both the just and unjust. Suspiciously convenient. And ex post facto. How can we beseech His help against evil if we perpetrate it ourselves? Apparently he doesn't care about evil. He nails us either way. So in terms of the fate of the nation why does it matter? And observation bears this out. Some of the most devout nations (Latin America, Mexico) definitely are not at the top of the heap economically, militarily, ...... But God is Just My definition of justice does NOT include smiteing the just foir doing no evil.
