‘God’s partisans in Iran and elsewhere,’ Shah concludes by stating what he sees as ‘the deepest lessons of U.S.-style entrepreneurial religion: let god be God by freeing him from both governmental regulation and government handouts; do not lash him to the mast of a particular government or political party and in so doing make him a hostage to political fortune. God will indeed keep coming back – especially in those places where he has not been turned into a fawning palace courtier or a shackled political prisoner.’

Given that the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America completely rejects the authority of Scripture and now allows openly rebellious sexual perverts into “ministry”, I would say that Evangelicalism needs to be laid to rest.
If that’s where it’s headed in general, I agree.
I’m not sure I care on way or another.
