Many Americans today look out the windows of their self-centered, narcissistic lives and say, “How did we get to this point in our country?” To ask the question is to answer it. Because of our day’s stormy and dreary moral and social climate, people begin to look for scapegoats for all their ills. They rarely start by looking in the mirror.
Americans today - more so than at any other time - are mostly oblivious and ignorant of history and the changing philosophies of what brought us to this point. They are stuck in the mire of today’s social climate and cannot see past it. It is difficult to see when immersed in a rapidly decaying cultural environment.
Many events have set the stage for the decadent social conditions that now confront us. A step backward is needed to “put all the pieces” on the table for objectively analyzing and observing such trends and influences on American culture and society.
When America began to abandon its Judean-Christian values by forsaking Holy Scripture truth and the Person of Almighty God, our nation’s foundation began to fracture while the poisonous waters of godless influences subtly leaked into and permeated our culture. This slow and steady tide began to turn into a steady intensifying river, which opened wide the doors to the secular liberal and progressive ideologies and trends of the 1870’s, the promotion of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, Marxist Ideals, the “Roaring 20’s”, Eugenics, Freudian psychology, The Scopes trials, Secular Rationalism, etc.

The foundational ideals of our country where Christian. Period. The "Judeo-" part was added much later as a "politically correct" move by liberals.
The expressed religion of the country was Christian and it was the teachings of Christ and His apostles that were explicitly delineated and propogated in the original documents fo the various states. Even the Supreme Court declared this to be a Christian nation (Church of The Holy Trinity vs. The United States).
Interesting observation.
It wasn't the hippies that elected Kennedy who got us into the Viet Nam War...The Hippies were a result of the War...Many Viet Nam War veterans ended up with the war protesting hippie crowd...
This would include all those who do not accept the biblical definition of the triune Godhead and the person of Jesus Christ, the God-man, would it not?
