Are you sure?
Too many Americans have turned their backs on God -- but worse, our government has officially turned its back on God. What is government? According to George Washington, it is a force. That's all. A "dangerous servant and a fearful master," he warned.
Now our government punishes crosses, bibles, prayer.
Mr Rogers, many, many more Americans are WITH God, attuned to Him, at least in some way, than not. America is yet a Godly nation, at its core and spirit a Christian nation, in values and a shared "municipal code," of sorts, if not in registered official religious affiliation. The West is Christian; that is why it is slave-free, because Christian decency demands it, as I believe it demands outlawing abortion, but I will settle for the overturn of Roe v Wade, returning it to the states. Before RvW, nearly two thirds of the states outlawed it.
Government is amoral. It takes over charity, a moral act, and distributes it as an entitlement, nourishing sloth, envy, and promiscuity. It takes over education and teaches an amoral history and set of values. God help us when it takes over medicine.
You are right that we must embrace God. So do it, Rogers. Lambasting others for not doing it the way you want to see them do it, is futile. God is love -- love your fellow Americans and for heaven's sake, have FAITH in them.
Liberals have to cheat for a reason, you know?
Government wants the people to believe IT is God. That’s where the are winning. When you free the masses of personal responsibility, they are free to sin without consequences... In this life, anyway.

Nazi Germany comes to mind. At much as half of the gestapo were sodomites.
