People are still fully responsible with God. If they're irresponsible, they loose salvation.
When you have the offer to come alongside the ruling authority, you have ultimate responsibility.
I have brought up this argument before. Lets see if you have a better answer than O have gotten so far.
Jeffrey Dahmer murdered and consumed numerous victims. Before he was killed in prison, he converted to christianity. This means his sins were forgiven and he was allowed in to heaven.
Essentially, he was no longer responsible for his actions. His actions were, by proxy, placed on to jesus. He no longer carries ANY responsibility for these things as jesus suffered the death for Dahmers sins.
To me, that sounds an awful lot like lack of responsibility.

For example, making the masses comfortable with an all-encompassing authoritarian absent father figure. If you do what God says, you will probably also do what your government says. And obey your parents. It's all about making it comfortable for you to conform.
and conformation is SUCH a wonderful thing. I mean, look what it has done for Arab women!!
