I would agree that American's focus on captiolism and gluttony is sheer proof of anti-christian teachings. To find the deeply religious in a survey I would try asking everyone what are all 10 commandments and the seven deadly sins. and examples of each. Profession of a considered mainstream idea does not constitute honest understanding of said ideals or teachings. When governments serve their self or their people who elected them they can not, by definition, be following the teachings of Christianit. Christianity teaches to be in the world and not of the world. I don't know why I chimed in with political view I hate politics.. ignore.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
