In trying to make a case that "God" has been in decline in public life, he pointedly left out that, on June 14, 1954, Congress inserted "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.

"In God We Trust" is on our currency, in our courtrooms and our government buildings. Every session of the House and the Senate opens with a prayer, and probably every state and municipal legislature, too. All religious institutions get tax breaks from every taxing entity. Christmas is a national holiday, even though it is nominally a Christian event.

The Founding Fathers were primarily concerned that the new United States not establish a state religion, as the Church of England was, and still is, in their ancestral home. They never intended that God be absent from public life, or that religious practice be banned in America. This video is much ado about nothing. And, by overlooking "under God," by falsely stating that crime rates are going up, and by trying to combine that phony observation with school behavior, divorce, out of wedlock births, etc., it just weakens its case.

America has more churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, and other religious institutions than any other nation. It got that way because we cherish religious freedom and have enshrined it in our Constitution. What's the problem??


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
