This is not meant to be controversial, but it might. I am okay with the fact that not everyone agrees with me. I do ask that you consider what I say and remember that this is simply my musings.
It is my understanding that it is not policy that is ruining this country. Policy is a result of thinking and thinking is a result of believing. So it is the quality of the beliefs that will determine the quality of the policies. So, when it comes to our freedoms, religious or otherwise, they are undermined, not by a lack of action, but by a lack of faith.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke) Though there is truth in this, it is not the whole truth. This world is not based on the good and evil of humanity alone. There is a spiritual element that must be taken into account. And so, while we should not sit by and do nothing...I think what we need is more kneeling, rather than more standing.
God's people must return to their first love and act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with their God. God must be returned to the "throne" of our hearts. We must repent and seek first His kingdom, that His will would be done on earth as it is in heaven. When we first love God with all our heart and then our neighbor, lives will change...then those lives will change the governments.
In Christ we are free no matter what creed the government holds to. And what is temporary freedom on earth, if eternity will be spent in hell? Faith, hope and love is what the world needs, and against such things there are no laws! Praise Jesus!
