I've never met such a person. Could you provide us with a list of names so we can contact these folks and enlighten them? *sarcasm* I think you're exaggerating. The average religious person I meet uses religion as a way to order their lives, a basic moral code to live by. It's not religious people sit on a couch all day waiting for God to deliver food...if one looks at history, religious people have had a massive effect on the world through warfare, colonization, et cetera...religion has had a massive impact on history...so saying that religious people aren't "proactive" is ridiculous and not based on history at all.
