Thus the moral compass of this great nation has changed.

It's Christians' fault more than anything else. We have lost touch with many.
Also, I'm troubled by the fact that more Christians are going to mega-churches - I think this is directly related to the topic.

I believe in small local churches.

I agree with this post, although I don't necessarily think it is a bad thing that America is becoming less religious.

The way Christianity is going, I reluctantly agree with you.

In short, the hardcore religious people are still there and will always be around.

The "Casuals" are the ones who are less and less religious.

To me, due to my studies of Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia (the beginnings of the first religions, also the first monotheism religion that worshiped the solar disk) and also my studies of Science, religion will always be about two things: A way to control and have power over people and also to plug gaps in human knowledge..

I don't mean to offend anybody who beleives in any religion and it's perfectly ok to do so as my girlfriend is catholic, goes to church every Sunday and I have no problem with that but I have my own views and that's the way I see it..
