The Death of Ethics in America

I really did not know this book had such a religious theme to it. It seems most writers who tackle the topic of the decline in American culture usually look at poor parenting, large government, drugs, inept schooling, or a combination of these among others. Cal Thomas claims many of our present day problems stem from the extreme gap between church and state and that those who call for such a large gap only hurt our country more. Some of the material in the book does get a bit too much into fundamentalism, but overall Thomas tries to prove that the loss of devotion to God, family, and the Bible has taken our nation down the wrong path. I can't say I recommend this book if you want a purely non-religious view of our society's struggles. But, if you feel that America has taken a turn for the worse because of mass secularization and have desire a return to a religious society, read Thomas' book. Personally, I'd prefer a society with more discipline and respect, with definite need for religion, of course, but Thomas claims the only way to reverse America's unfortunate trend of decline is to accept spirituality in all facets of life.
