We seem to have missed something, here.

Can Buz and others tell us when the golden age of biblical principles was. When did the calamitous decline start?
I think he has told us when it started to decline:

There has been some ebb and flow of this, but the decline began to escalate steadily after WWII, when the women left the homes as homekeepers, many of the fathers at war and two parents bringing up their children in Biblical principles, many of the homes being single parents via war deaths/disabilities and mothers emerging into the work place.
In the early 1960s some things began to escalate the decline, one being the Hippie generation and another being the end of real value money which could be exchanged for silver at the local bank. This was global.
This was when the calls for banning of freedom of religion in the perameters of all levels of government by athiests like Maddam Murry O'Hare, the emergence of gays from their closets, obsenity and depravity escalation in Hollywood, live-ins replacing marriage vows, decline of the Biblical male leadership role, in and the media moving into the homes via television, increasing surrender of national soverignty to the UN world body and ever expanding government regulations/size etc became ever louder and more prevalent.
So, things were peachy before the end of WWII.

Missing the point
Hi Dawn.
I wonder if you are talking at cross purposes here.
It's my understanding that Buzz's point was that when people were all god fearing xians the country (I assume the US) was somehow better.
I could be wrong (and do forgive me if I am) but you seem to describing a golden age of worship, where church attendence was far higher than it is now.
