I feel like we’re the sinning Jewish nation in Old Testament times.

You may be on to something.

"...These two world views [Christian theism vs naturalist, impersonal matter or energy shaped by impersonal chance] stand as totals in complete antithesis to each other in content and also in their natural results--including sociological and governmental results, and specifically including law.
It is not that these two world views are different only in how they understand the nature of reality and existence. They also inevitably produce totally different results. The operative word here is inevitably. It is not just that they happen to produce different results, but it is absolutely inevitable that they will bring forth different results..."

- Francis Schaeffer, A Christian Manifesto (1981), page 2.

I heard some quote today, “Democracy without Virtue becomes a Tyranny” or something of that nature ... selfish? that’s why we have so many people just pursuing their own agenda.
