This country kicked God out of schools and replaced it with philosopies that we are mere animals. People who think they are random, purposeless animals, act like animals.
If you think about every society, as soon as they rejected God Almighty Creator, it was all but over.
The religion of evolution should be celebrating this, as the struggle and suffering creates much higher species.Lol.. if you wait long enough. They should celebrate even further every mass shooting, rape and evil, as it strengthens their gene pool. It is only logical and rational.
God dod not create anything but good.
Given that the Bible says man has dominion over animals and recommends them for slaughter and sacrifice, and given that the Bible never speaks out against cruelty to animals at any point, I have no idea how you got the idea that being religious would translate into kindness to animals.
