Yes, but first we must answer what has made Communism so attractive?
You might also consider that our Constitution interpretation which has separated Church and State has eroded God in today's effort to purge God from everywhere and make the State the enemy of religion.
In response specifically to your post, I give you Mr. Jefferson:
""History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes."
Personally, I don't feel nostalgic for the era depicted in these pictures, where people lived in poverty (with double-digit unemployment) in tenements and shacks. They also elected the most left-wing government in American history at that time, one which included closet communists. But, hey, at least they prayed!
The rot that has become of America cannot be merely blamed on lack of religion. African Americans, after all, are the most religious demographic in the United States, yet suffer disproportionately from social pathologies. It lies in the growing dependence on the state and on a therepeutic culture the replaced self-reliance with "feelings."
