‘There is no significant example in history, before our time, of a society successfully maintaining moral life without the aid of religion.’

And the consequences to our country?, Well, John Adams pointed it out:

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Our system of government cannot survive without a Judeo-Christian society underpinning it. Kicking the underpinnings out, will collapse it.

The most important word in there is "and". As a software developer, I know how different "and" and "or" are. Some would like that word to be "or" but it isn't. The radical Muslims are very religious but not very moral and the atheists feel they are very moral but not religious. It takes both in order to maintain a civil, orderly and healthy society.
