I was raised evangelical. A big reason I deconverted was I started taking the idea of “faith without works is dead” very seriously. Except, within the evangelical framework there isn’t really a way to do “good works”, even though it’s right there in the Bible. Evangelical churches and groups don’t offer any programs to genuinely help the poor and needy. You can try and organize things yourself but no one’s gonna help you. And if you dare start talking about “social justice” enough your fellow Christians will get real suspicious that you might be one of those “liberals” and start shutting you out. The whole system is designed to discourage you from doing actual good things so I couldn’t figure out how I was supposed to do “good works”. Could not be happier to be out.
