There are some parts of America that are worse than even Sodom.

Thankfully there’s is still goodness in this Republic, and our divenly ordained Comstituion continues to hold.

But make no mistake, are many, many demons in the Republic today. More than we have know at any age before

More important than "disallowing prayer" has been the whole idea of disallowing acknowledgement of what America's Founders and Framers of its Constitution referred to as "the Supreme Being," (Declaration of Independence) or "Governor of the Universe" (James Madison, Memorial and Remonstrance)

The Declaration's acknowledgement of other manifestations of God included references to "the Supreme Judge of the World," "Creator," and "Divine Providence"--a term denoting a continuing role of oversight.

When students are taught to obey rules or laws, without any underlying causative authority for those laws, then one would expect to get confusion and lack of understanding for what is called "the rule of law."

As Washington acknowledged in his Farewell Address:

" Let it simply be asked where is the 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 & 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."

Hollywood didn’t have a “casting couch” system in the 1920s and 30s?

Removing prayer from schools was only a side show to the whole attack on Christians by the courts in this country. And I do believe there is something to the argument that when that attack started and gained steam, this country began to sink to the level it is today.
