“Godlessness is in trouble, according to a growing consensus among philosophers, intellectuals and scholars.

‘Atheism as a theoretical position is in decline worldwide.’[...]

British philosopher Anthony Flew, once as hard-nosed a humanist as any, has turned his back on atheism, saying it is impossible for evolution to account for the fact that one single cell can carry more data than all the volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Mr. Flew still does not accept the God of the Bible.

But he has embraced the concept of intelligent design—a stunning desertion of a former intellectual ambassador of secular humanism to the belief in some form of intelligence behind the design of the universe.[...] The Rev. Paul M. Zulehner, dean of Vienna University’s divinity school[...] cautioned, however, that the decline of atheism in Europe does not mean that re-Christianization is taking place.

‘What we are observing instead is a re-paganization. ’” Uwe Siemon-Netto, United Press International

“Porn—Part of the Problem—‘In the last three decades, prostitution and pornography have become increasingly tolerated, normalized and legitimized, resulting in expansion of sex industries all over the world.’”[...]

The Internet has made pornography ubiquitous,[...] and has ‘provided pornographers access to a global audience with almost no restrictions or regulations. It provided men, who are usually secretive about their exploitation of women and children, with easy, private access to unlimited amounts of pornography.’” Ed Vitagliano, AFA Journal

“The Nation’s Governors, facing a 32-percent drop-out rate among high school students across the country, spoke with urgency[...] about the need to redesign the system so students graduate and are prepared to succeed in college and in the workplace.

‘Many of us here today would say the situation in America’s high schools should be described as a crises.’” [...]

‘And this issue is terribly important in terms of our efforts to restore America’s competitiveness in the world economy,’ said [Virginia Gov. Mark Warner], the co-chairman of the National Governors Association.[...]

Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas,[...] said ‘The failure of high schools to prepare students adequately for college and the workplace costs the U.S. economy at least $16 billion a year in lost productivity.[...]

In terms of personal income,[...] the difference between high school and college education is at least a million dollars over a lifetime.’” George Archibald, The Washington Times

“The Founders of the United States rejected the socialist’s utopian vision and sought to create a nation based on different, more realistic ideals—individual liberty and opportunity. And because they also understood man’s sinful nature, they sought to put ‘chains’ (their term) around government to put at bay its tendency to abuse power. They knew the ultimate check on the politics of power is found in the opening phrase of the Constitution: ‘We, the people...’ Their wisdom placed political power ultimately in the hands of the citizens. If we do not take our responsibility seriously, then we only have ourselves to blame when we loose our liberty.[...]” David A. Noebel and Chuck Edwards, The Schwarz Report
