Is the Financial Crisis the Church's Fault?

Tony Jones makes the comment that without a wide swath of our culture subscribing to Calvinism and the “protestant work ethic” free market economies are a thing of the past.

Are free markets incompatible with secularism?  Is the only hope for the free markets a Third Great Awakening?  Or maybe the first Global Great Awakening?

Or, to put it another way, is the current financial crisis the church’s fault?

Update: David Fitch has a great post asking good questions about how this financial crisis might affect the church.
