Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

Salt is used to keep food from spoiling and is also used to give food more flavor. If a Christian has lost it's saltiness, it is no longer acting as a preservative in this world, stopping or at least slowing the spread of evil. It is no longer having a positive effect on the world in making it a better place. It is good for nothing.
When I see a Christian that is becoming like the world instead of being a good example, I see someone that has lost his/her savor.

We are here to represent the Lord and his ways. If we aren't doing that, we have no value.

Even when it comes to who I vote for, I base it on slowing the spread of evil. I support the pro-life, pro traditional values candidates. None are perfect, but I won't vote for people in favor of gay marriage and things like that. There are different ways we have a preserving effect on our society.

For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltiness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
Mark 9:49,50
