The consequences of faithlessness

Let's say that I am a person who does not believe in the power of religion to change a person's life. Let me also say that, due to some odd twists of fate, I am placed in a powerful position in an evnagelical church. This position would require me to go out and recruit new churchmembers.

In such a situation, it would be fair to predict that I would not do as good a job as someone believed things I did not. My point is faithlessness alone can subvert a mission. Along those lines, if you don't believe in the power of government to solve problems, you may not make a whole-hearted effort to secure the resources by which your government can solve problems (regardless of popularity).
