The culture of death is the culture of human self-ownership, as opposed to the culture of human soul being God's property, so to speak. This opens doors to human sacrifice for some greater human need. Its manifestations are abortion, certainly, but also birth control, dissolution of marriage, wars, state-worship and social experimentation. Godlessness is the common denominator in all this, -- and idea with destructive consequence.
Well I can see why literacy is not something you would speak highly of. A literate society does consider the human body and spirit as its own. Belief in God or whatever higher being one may choose does not require the forfeiture of the independence of the human spirit.

I believe human sacrifices go back thousands of years. As for wars, wonder how many were started in God's name? Birth control kills nothing or no one. Most Catholics use birth control regularly. It's here to stay, and I can see nothing that could ever reverse the trend. Not sure I follow state worship. If anything, people today are far more ready to question their governments than ever before. As for social experimentation, again, be specific. I'm sure even you would approve of some of the improvements afforded society in general that might be classified as social experimentation.

So you say, but so far, the only thing you can show is a parallel drop in church attendance, not a cause and effect relationship.
