What happened to the spiritual foundation?

Here is an article published in the Rome News Tribune, written by Randy Brandon. (Good point, Randy).

The United States gained its independence in 1776. From the time of the first pilgrims through the Revolutionary War men fought and died for their belief in God, and founded our Constitution and Declaration of Independence on these religious beliefs. Our social and government structures were founded on these religious beliefs and this nation was known as a God-fearing, Christian nation.

When we see as we do today the divisions, corruption and moral decline in these predominate structures appear; is it not time to take a closer look at how we have come to develop the current beliefs we hold; as opposed to the teachings of the Bible and the religious beliefs our forefather held when this country was founded?

Would not we be more enriched in our daily lives and have a harmonious social and government structure if we were to adhere t the original beliefs on which our forefathers founded this country? It is shown today that instead of having faith in God, people are letting their pride, greed arrogance and moral decadence permeate their every waking thought.

I am afraid that this nation that I love is fast becoming spiritually bankrupt. God has been taken out of our schools, our public and government because people have become offended. It does not fit into their lives like they want to live it. So where do we really stand? Where is the hope of the country? Why have we forsook the principles and religious beliefs our forefathers had when this great nation was founded
