Usually people who’ve come up on to an insurmountable problem. They need G-d until they don’t need G-d.

I trust in God and love Him with all my heart. I am an imperfect human but He sees me as perfect. I am so sorry for those who have not sought Him out and received Jesus as savior. Eternity will happen. Where is up to each individual.
God bless everyone!

I can sum it up in one word.
Idolatry.
Gods correction for this is never pleasant.
Except for the believer who is expectant of it.
I crave Gods correction for this world without any
any reservations.
Come Lord Jesus.

There are many gods the world chooses from. There is one God that chose the world.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

I trust that every step our country takes that gives God a colder shoulder will result in greater catastrophe.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

I think Americans are increasingly trusting in reason. With the internet, people can now weigh religious claims much more efficiently than ever before. They can examine Christianity (its theological statements, its purported miracles, etc) and compare it to other religions, like Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, or what have you.
They can look at the evidence for each and decide if there are good reasons to choose one faith over the others. They can debate those with different cultural and philosophical perspectives and see if, by putting on someone else's shoes, they can better understand why others come to very different conclusions about religion and God(s).
It seems to me, if Christianity can stand up to this critical examination at the hands of the "everyman" that information technology is now facilitating, then America will continue to be religious. If it can't, America will become more secular. Either way, reason (which is responsible for an incalculable amount of good in our society) will have won out. It will mean America has chosen what to trust wisely, and that will be a good thing.

Wrong. In politics today, half of the American people are not trusting reason. This administration is probably the most unreasonable administration ever. Half of the population prefers it that way.
Anyhow, you present a false dichotomy. Reason is not what separates. What separates is a preference for the body over the soul and an temporal life over an eternal life. You think the ancients didn't trust in reason.
