religion can provide us with vision and values, but it doesn't provide the analytical tools. One doesn't look to the Bible to understand the complexity of modern society. It can give us certain insights into the human condition, certain visions of what we should hope for, but we also need social, political, and economic tools.
-Cornel West, Hope on a Tightrope: Words & Wisdom, p. 73
