Better

“I would humbly suggest that when we paint our nation’s domestic and foreign policies with such a biblical brush, we are confusing our rhetoric as well as our kingdoms. 'The nations' who 'trample the holy city' are not Saudis who fly planes into our skyscrapers but the very aspects of our society (yes, ours) that turn our churches into strip malls, our worshipers into consumers, and our God into a commodity beholden to the ebb and flow of the market. In a word, it is not America that will get the last word, it is not America that will be vindicated in the end, and it is not America that will be shown to be the last great hope for a backward and undemocratic world. In fact, it is the American love of money that is often the root of much of the church’s evil, and it is our rugged American individualism that accounts for the near-obsolescence of the church in the estimation of many sincere believers today.” (Jason Stellman, Dual Citizens, p. 67)

I don't quote this as an anti-American sentiment. But, just as I think it's wise to consider the sins in our families so that we don't embrace them as part of our spiritual heritage, it's also wise not to confuse political agenda (which can be good or bad, regardless of your party) and USA patriotism (which is mostly good) with Christian faith (which is better, both temporally and eternally).
