The number of people in the United States who believe in God, particularly among the younger generation, is on the decline.
SPECIAL POST 
The fundamental tenets of any lasting and just society are embodied in the principles of religion. Therefore, I submit, the decrease in the number of people who believe in God is directly related to the rise of crime, the breakdown of the family unit and the advance of Marxist Socialism in the United States. 
But, who's fault is it that belief in God is on the skids?
If you tool around the Internet and take a look at the websites of major religions in the country, what you are predominantly going to find is a sterile environment. They don't address the major issues of the day, such as drugs, sex, the economy, crime, infidelity... Instead, the message is, "Come join our church because WE have the answers. Bring money."
I always thought that if your were going to minister the word of God, you need to reach out to the people. I don't think that is happening in the vast majority of religious organizations in the country today. And when the family unit is being destroyed on so many fronts, young people need a place to turn to to get the parental advice and guidance they no longer get at home.
Either churches and their ministers need to get back to the basics of serving their parishioners, or they need to fold their tents, climb on their make-believe donkeys and go home.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
