#tellusatoday: Significance of rise of 'nones' in USA?

If people let go of religious affiliation, will they let go of traditional moral standards that encourage positive civic behavior?

Our moral compass is pointed in the wrong direction. The country needs to turn back to God.

Just because people are non-religious doesn't mean they don't have morals.

-- @loveusaent

Religion isn't the only thing guiding people morally. Plenty of non-religious people have good morals.

It doesn't mean anything. I don't need a fairy tale to understand the golden rule.

-- @Brenny513

The claim that Christianity has brought morality to the Western World is drawing a long bow. Terrible crimes have happened in past 2000 years.

I work in ministry. The truth is that organized religion is at its best when organizing on behalf of others.

This means the mission field is even greater for the U.S.
