Glen Beck and American "Christianity"

By now you've likely heard of the rally organized by Glen Beck this past weekend in Washington D.C. I'm not here to make statements about Beck's political views. Many love them; still others hate them just as much.

I do however like what Russell Moore had to say in regards to what this weekend says about the state of American Christianity:

Too often, and for too long, American “Christianity” has been a political agenda in search of a gospel useful enough to accommodate it. There is a liberation theology of the Left, and there is also a liberation theology of the Right, and both are at heart mammon worship. The liberation theology of the Left often wants a Barabbas, to fight off the oppressors as though our ultimate problem were the reign of Rome and not the reign of death. The liberation theology of the Right wants a golden calf, to represent religion and to remind us of all the economic security we had in Egypt. Both want a Caesar or a Pharaoh, not a Messiah.
