Long-held values like patriotism, religion and community involvement are in retreat across America, according to a stunning poll released Monday.
The Wall Street Journal/NORC survey found that just 38% of Americans say patriotism is “very important” to them, down from 70% who said the same in 1998.
Slightly more Americans (39%) placed the same importance on religion, down from 62% who said faith was “very important” to them 25 years ago. The percentage of Americans who said raising children was “very important” fell to 30% in the new poll, down from 59% in 1998.

But for Janet Boyer, a former Pentecostal minister in Cumberland Township, Pa., patriotism has taken on a political connotation.
“For me, patriotism has turned into right-wing nationalism,’’ said Boyer, 52, who supported President Biden in 2020.

America was created by the Founding Fathers to be a Christian nation, as were its documents. When it ceases to be Christian, it ceases to be America. All by design, by the Satanic left.

When it ceases to be Christian,
it ceases to be America. “America is great because she is good,
and if America ever ceases to be good,
she will cease to be great”.
