I agree with your main point.  But at our small Baptist Church -- located in Fredericton, NB  -- we do take more of a literal  approach to the Bible and prayer. But we emphasize Christ's love both to the outside community and our own church members.  This entails a fairly large food-and-toiletry bank, free weekly Sunday lunches, and free monthly "dinner and a movie" nights. We also evangelize about Christian love.  Albeit Baptists are seen as "conservative", this doesn't mean we eschew Christian love.
