A surprisingly Libertarian passage I came across:
"Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?" (Ecclesiastes 7:13)
It's really a cool to let things go. We cannot straighten out others - even if we succeed through coercive measures or cultural capture, we've only succeeded in putting their inner wickedness into a new context.
We've just put the wolf into sheep's clothes when we capture the culture; we just make ourselves totalitarians and lose all credibility by jailing moral perverts to increase worldly power in a never-ending game of whack-a-mole in imposing our personal spiritual values.
Let everything go, and approach people with personal humility, showing them the truth, when the time is right. We are not here to save society - it is crooked, and we cannot make it straight.
