Counterpoint: Decline in religion doesn’t bode well for the republic
This might not seem like a crisis, but the American Founders would have disagreed. These men saw that self-government depended on morality and virtue, which, in turn, depended on religion. As George Washington stated in his Farewell Address, “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indisputable supports.”
If morality is not objective, it is nothing more than personal opinion and people will convince themselves whatever they do is moral.
Are you lying or ignorant? How we proceed will depend on that. I mean there’s no sin in being ignorant unless it’s intentional, so that’s the right choice.
