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.

“For me, patriotism has turned into right-wing nationalism,’’ said Boyer, ​52, who supported President Biden in 2020.

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”.
