The biggest problem I see is that in the past, the US worked because Dems and Republicans were by and large Christian, so there was a lot of commonality and a moral foundation. Even if the politicians were compromised, they could only push so far before the voters revolted.
Now, the vast majority of the Democratic Party is made up with anti-Christians. Many are atheists or agnostics that dispose Christians. Certainly there are Dem voters who are Christians, but those that run the party and set the agendas are most certainly not Christian.
I’m not sure this nation can survive. We are nearing a tipping point with younger generations who are completely secular, or outright Occultists.
Plenty of people I know are either atheist or agnostic and still have morals. I want the best for this country and for people to live by the golden rule. I don't have to worship your or any god to be a good person.
Don't assume all non believers are devil worshippers
Very true, but I think organized religion at least gives the masses a moral compass. I personally hate organized religion for a lot of other reeasons... essentially I think their job is to herd the sheep, and I don't consider myself one of the sheep.
One of the big problems with athiesm/agnosticism is the perceived lack of consequence.
Religious people have "the fear of God".
I think a belief in something like karma at least, is pretty important. Even if that's 100% BS that isn't true, believing in it at least gives you motivation to do the right thing. Tons of people think "well if I didn't get caught then I didn't do anything wrong!". Well, if you think there are consequences to your actions, you perhaps behave differently.

Is that what they told you in China?
