It is an important aspect of the voice of the people yet most a good amount, of people do whatever they can to get out of it. Just like voting.They don't realize that jury system is more or less the fourth branch. Hell most people don't realize a judge represents the people in court.

As far as religion, well that's been hijacked since long before America. Dare I say it's been hijacked long before Christianity.

Some of the biggest flaws in public involvement are:

1) lack of interest in local politics. So much gets done at this level.

2) gerrymandering. In so much for of this country, voting is pointless at this level. The party primary or inner wheeling and dealing has determined the candidate. Of course, this is because so little is done at the local level, so it's easy to push through things like this.
