There are many signs these days that America is turning her back on the God who allowed her to come into existence to begin with.
There are even worse signs that it is intellectually lazy Christians that are giving over large matters of substance to the entirely secular of our day, deceived in their own thinking, and caring not that they are becoming heretics to their own confession of faith.

Thankful that I live in a purely secular nation.
Thanks for posting. Good read. Like Peter who got out ofthe boat and walked on the water until he began to remove his focus and put them on the waves crashing around him, so too we must maintain our focus not on the crashing events around us, but on the one who controls all things.
The only reason “secular” nations have stayed afloat in recent years is because the USA was holding them up. Which now we have very limited power to do. Notice how much worse the economic depression is in the rest of the world than here.
That chapter, 2 Corinthians chapter 5, is one of our favorite chapters in the Bible. Especially the last verse, verse 21:
“For He (God) hath made Him(Jesus)to be sin for us(you & me), who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.”
A most clear teaching of God’s substitutionary offering of His Son for our sins!
I want my government to remain religion neutral.
I want to see individuals become more moral and christian, though
Yes, He died....
..But HE IS RISEN!!
Secular Nation? There is no such thing!

Jesus rises from the dead in an early 2 Strip Technicolor sequence in Cecil B. DeMille’s first King of Kings (1927).
Beautiful!
Jesus Christ is Risen - He is Risen indeed!
Have you forgotten that we are a government OF THE PEOPLE?
The Government will become "religion neutral" when the PEOPLE (The majority of voting Americans) become religion neutral.
I believe we may be there already.
I don't particularly like the way it is turning out.
