Books that directly or indirectly back up the idea that most of should not be "political" people, besides maybe a few key isolated issues that affect us directly.

I have some questions and thoughts regarding Christianity. My questions are mostly for Protestants and Eastern Orthodox. I'm not really interested in Roman Catholicism but I guess if they want to chime in that's ok.
I am not Orthodox but lately I have been looking into Orthodoxy and I've found that their faith seems much more real to them in a way. Now let me explain. I'm not implying that all protestants are fake and don't really believe. That's not what I mean. I grew up Baptist and I know many Baptists and evangelicals who are sincere believers.
But what I mean is that the Orthodox seem to have way more spiritual things happening in their daily life. For example I just read of an Orthodox monk who talked about an experience he had where the devil appeared to him in the form of a woman, attempting to seduce him, but the monk prayed, and by God's power, the devil was sent flying away over the hill and exploded.
I have read many accounts like this. For the Orthodox, spirituality is a real thing happening in their life and in the physical world around them.
For protestants, it's not really like that. These sorts of spiritual events are very rare. I have heard of a Baptist pastor who did an exorcism on a possessed man once. But in general really it seems like the protestant outlook on the world more secular and sort of non-spiritual in way, except they still believe in God. It seems to be more beliefs in their head, but not really actually a part of life and the world around them. Do you know what I mean, and also why is this
