Some people turn to god when they perceive things are bad; many many others are devout through good and bad times.
I am not turning to god personally – never-mind me –
but this is a country that largely derives values from nonsectarian sources.
The results have been disastrous to say the least.[/quote]
The main problem with this country is endless pursuit of material wealth with zero regard to time for the family. But the majority of the country fell into the trap that somehow this was related to lack of church attendance. When both parents are forced to work full time, the children are left to raise themselves from the TV and videogames.
The fact that church attendance fall is a side effect, not a cause of our moral breakdown. don’t fall into the trap of that false correlation.
At the same time, this country rejects the progressive fix of living wages and better benefits that would strengthen familyon the basis of it being a communist agenda.
Plenty of church going folks end up with teenage pregnancy and drug use and crime, in fact states with the highest church attendance have the worse of these problems.
