A lot of people forget that our society is based on the Ten Commandments, even if some believe that basis to be a loose one. There's a reason why a lot of our laws are derivative of several of the Commandments, like laws regarding homicide and theft of property. Even perjury can be traced to the Ten Commandments. People forget we were founded on Judeo-Christian principles for a reason: Because no man can determine what makes a man free. Only the Laws of Nature, which come from Nature's God. (The Judeo-Christian God, of course.)

Unfortunately, we have one side of the political aisle who want to determine what laws should be followed and even to whom the law is or at least should be applied. We as a country have increasingly turned away from Him, and until we turn back to Him, we will continue to decline morally as a society.

Yea, no.

Governments have caused more harm than religion ever has.

That's a pretty bold statement, considering religion predates government in human history.
