The moral decay and moral rot in society has deeply effected and corrupted the church. Christians think that we can make America into a Christian country again by voting the right people into office, rather than by evangelization, prayer, fasting, etc. At first we care about the morals of the people we are voting into office (since we see these people as representing our views) but then since we are relying on secular and worldly politics to spread the Gospel and putting all of our hope in politics we start to compromise more and more with the world. We make more and more excuses for immoral behavior just as long as the person supports the correct political views. Supporting the correct political views becomes more important than the actual Gospel. We reach a point where political beliefs start to overshadow the Gospel and our Christianity becomes watered down into merely a cultural political movement.
