Personal values and ethics strongly correlate to faith in religion. A society full of individuals who believe in God creates an ethical, successful, and productive society. As society as a whole becomes less and less devout, accountability and morality continue to disappear. Our country was better off before faith in God and obedience to His will were replaced by faith in government and obedience to bureaucracy. We've become a bunch of sheeple who look to government for guidance instead of personal values that we should have ingrained in us from childhood. What we need is more religion and more faith in God.
