Do you really need a "Alarmist Buchmanite Source" label to recognize it as crap?
"sexy books and plays" and "ridicule, contempt and obloquy": Reading Level Inconsistency much?
According to your simplex reasoning...........I guess the following folks are also Buchmanites.............
"Now, there's another major wrong done to traditional American values that needs to be corrected. Our forefathers were religious people, and they were also enlightened enough to realize the follies of religious intolerance." Ronald Reagan
"Evil flourishes when good men do nothing." Edmund Burke
"You ask, what is our policy? I can say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us..." Winston Churchill
"Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America." Jim Robinson
"God doesn't call me to be successful. God calls me to be faithful." Mother Teresa
"The choice is not between order and liberty. It is between liberty with order and anarchy without either. There is danger that, if the court does not temper its doctrinaire logic with a little practical wisdom, it will convert the constitutional Bill of Rights into a suicide pact." Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson
"Order is heaven's first law..." Pope
"I have lived long enough to know what I did not at one time believe-that no society can be upheld in happiness and honor without the sentiment of religion." La Place
"Our humanity were a poor thing were it not for the divinity which stirs within us" Bacon
"Had I a dozen sons, each in my love alike. I had rather have eleven die nobly for their country, than one voluptuously surfeit out of action." Shakespeare
"There is no being eloquent for atheism. In that exhausted receiver the mind cannot use its wings-the clearest proof that it is out of its element." Hare
"Those who quit their proper character to assume what does not belong to them, are for the greater part ignorant of both the character they leave and of the character they assume." Burke
"We've staked our future in our ability to follow the Ten Commandments with all our hearts." James Madison
"...No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people." Noah Webster
"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports." George Washington
"Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness." George Washington
It was none other than Ben Franklin, asked as he emerged from the Constitutional Convention about what type of government had been proposed for the American people, who replied, "A Republic, if you can keep it." Most are familiar with that quote by Franklin. But, not many know what he said later, amplifying his remark, predicting that the new nation would be well administered for a few years, "but only end in despotism, as other forms have done before, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic government, being incapable of any other."
As America continues the downward spiral from morality to immorality........from religion to anti-religion.......from traditional values to no values......we reap the whirlwind.....ergo, the socialist/marxist/communist Obama administration.........exactly what the Founding Fathers warned us about more than 200 years ago.......

And yet we know that John adams said this:
We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
And we know George Washington said this:
Of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to political prosperity, Religion, and Morality are indispensable supports.—In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men and Citizens.—The mere Politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them.—A volume could not trace all their connexions with private and public felicity.—Let it simply be asked where is security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths, which are the instruments of investigation in Courts of Justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion.—Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure.—reason and experience both forbid us to expect, that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.—’Tis substantially true, that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government.—The rule indeed extends with more or less force to every species of Free Government.—Who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric?—
But hey, what do they know?
