"I argue that this is because today’s America is no longer shaped by an older traditional European Christianity either Protestant, Lutheran, or Roman Catholic. It is now an alcohol and drug besotted post-Christian culture that has presently drifted into Neo-Paganism. All the signs are there, including rampant involvement in every form of sexual perversion imaginable, and an increasing disregard for the sanctity of innocent human life, including the heinous practice of partial birth abortion and increasing disrespect of the elderly." https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/09/mark-dankof-to-professor-rogers-m-smith-the-fatal-and-tragi-comedic-state-of-american-democracy-2021
