You are missing Baron de Montesquieu's point Pat. Which is not surprising because what has come to pass in virtually every area of American Christianity is just as Baron de Montesquieu described, and I would submit that Jesus himself spoke to this eventuality when he warned the Laodicean Church of the error of its ways in Rev 3:14-22.
