Part 6/11:
The Rise of a Secular Society and the Loss of Faith
Faith and religious values emerged as critical elements in understanding societal decline. Charlie Kirk’s outspoken Christian perspective was seen by many as a crucial ingredient in resisting the tide of moral decay. His emphasis on Christendom and unity among Christians of all racial backgrounds was seen as a rallying cry for Americans to return to spiritual foundations.
Commentators lamented that the absence of faith has made society more fragile and vulnerable to manipulations by powers with Marxist or socialist ambitions. This erosion is viewed as instrumental in undermining traditional American values, leading to what some describe as a "hollowing out" of the national character.
