Modern secularism is the main cause of the West being so weak. Basically, the West has no faith.

I disagree vehemently.
The potential of fundamental Christianity, or Judaism, or any religion is every bit as abhorrent, criminal and mindless as islam is today.

Having "faith" and excercising mindless faith are two very distinct universes. For example, the most powerful weapon Christianily owns is the living by example and not coercion.

"Lack of faith" can only sound believeable if one lives on the west and east coasts... and is otherwise culturally confused and isolated.

Are you saying that only “fundamental”ism is the problem?

What kind of “faith” are you talking about? What is faith if there is no truth behind it?

As far as “lack of faith”, I am speaking in a generalized sense, as the US as a whole, not for all individuals.

As to “mindless faith”, that will always be in any historical period you care to name. It is just a matter of volume or percentage.
