If Christians continue to rely on emotion and ignore evidence, they will continue to lose their children to secularism.

Ramachandra Guha

We now live in a 'post-Christian' America . The Judeo-Christian ethic no longer guides our social institutions. Christian ideals and values no longer dominate social thought and action.
