The psyops through the cultural pollution and pornography has been a resounding success. This is why architecture and public art in communist nations are ugly and why they hate God, because they want to break your soul and make you an interchangeable cog in the collective machine.
If God is the highest value in a culture, you will form Godly people. If freedom and the pursuit of happiness are the highest value, then you will over time get what we have now: selfish pleasure-seekers who do what they want regardless of who it harms.
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. - 2 Timothy 3:1-4
A good read is Alexis de Tocqueville’s misnamed, “Democracy in America” which includes a lot on churches in the United States and how the churches contribute both policy and leaders for the government. It was published in 2 volumes in 1835 and 1840 respectfully. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_in_America
Christianity is not a religion. Anyone who practices it as such is missing the heart of it. It relegates God and His truth to system of behavior and takes all the glory from God's perfect work in man when man accepts Christ. If Christians knew how far below par they are living. Most sick when God sent His Word to heal them. Most poor when God wishes above all things we prosper (have a prosperous journey) with Him. BODY, soul (breath life) and spirit (the perfect gift of holy spirit. Look at the book of acts...look at how those believers who knew less than the average believer today knows (new testament books of bible werent even written yet. Rise up to a relationship with God and quit calling it what it isn't. Religion is man made control. Just look at how ALL religions control. Christ set us free (freedom of will). Even Jesus confronted people for being religious rather than spiritual.
I get in these long discussions way too much. I'll just drop a passage from the early Christians and you figure it out.
The Lord says to Peter: “I say to you,” he says, “that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven . . .” [Mt 16:18–19]. On him he builds the Church, and commands him to feed the sheep [Jn 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed, the others were also what Peter was [apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, by which it is made clear that there is one Church and one chair. . . . If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he think that he holds the faith? If he deserts the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he be confident that he is in the Church? - St. Cyprian of Carthage [Unity of the Catholic Church 4; first edition (Treatise 1:4) (A.D. 251)].
An ad hominem statement is not a position. It's intellectually lazy. Maybe you should be more concerned with what comes out of your mouth and your keyboard.

Nick Fuentes is a fraud and secretly likes trannies; I don't trust anything that comes out of his mouth.
