Christianity used to be part of the fabric of America. You didn’t have to be part of it — you could choose another path, including no path at all. But shows and songs talked about God because people talked about God.

Then the Left began interpreting the First Amendment as a guarantee of freedom FROM religion and they used it to force an atheistic worldview on everyone whether they liked it or not.

I miss the old days.

“Christianity used to be part of the fabric of America”

By the 1840’s.

The Flower of our first two generations, learning the lessons of religious war in Europe and fanatical Puritanism on their own shores, were overwhelmingly and proudly Deists.

Agree on most of your post, except that the leftists really can’t “force” an atheistic worldview on our country. If God were still part of the “fabric” of our society, those efforts would go nowhere. So the influence on the leftist atheists only works when too many folks have lost faith and are open to those suggestions. So “swayed” perhaps, but not “forced”.

In other words, as much as I’d like to put all the blame on the leftist atheists, much, if not most of the blame should reside with those who allowed their spirits and minds to be influenced by those teachings.
