What do we do about secular drift?

Dear Readers,

Here are some frightening statistics about religious affiliation in America, taken from this great article written by some official person from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

[In America, the] number of those who claim no religious affiliation nearly doubled from 8.2 percent in 1990 to 15 percent in 2008.  Now that number has crept to nearly 20 percent. And among those under 30 years old, disaffiliation jumps to 32 percent.
 
I've seen this secular drift firsthand, among my family and friends.  Now, I don't want to be the old guy who sits on the porch and complains about everything, but... it does seem like movies and TV shows are getting more crass, vulgar and violent. 

Then there's marijuana and gay marriage.  Legalizing these things would have been unthinkable a few decades ago, but this past election showed that some states are much more "compassionate" and "open-minded" than they used to be.  I'm sure it was many of the growing number of religiously non-affiliated who voted to legalize these vices.

Another sign of secular drift is Arizona's election of Representative Krysten Sinema.  Sinema is an outspoken atheist and bi-sexual.  She spends most of her time in Congress persecuting religious groups. 

Then there's Ultimate Fighting and Mixed Martial Arts.  These violent sports remind me of the ancient Gladiators who would kill each other to entertain Roman citizens.  I guess boxing is okay.  I don't care for it myself, but at least they put on gloves.  But if you get a thrill out of seeing two guys fighting to the near death, choking each other and such, then you have a terrible taste in entertainment. You need the moral refinement that comes from Christianity.

So... is secular drift bad?  Yes, it's bad.  Very bad. 

Why?  Well, because it leads to Hell, that's why.  Hell in the afterlife, and Communism in this life.

What do we do about it?  We keep on praying and preaching and going to church and telling other people to go to church.  And we have a bunch of kids and raise them in the fear of God.  Christians might be losing the culture war in America for the moment, but we should keep fighting, even if we're losing, because it's the right thing to do.

Sincerely,
