“Really? So how have we survived for the past 200 years?”
We’ve survived because there have been enough moral, self-governing people to keep this country afloat. With the way society is headed today, who knows how much longer we’ll survive. We're on the brink--just like the Biblical model of Sodom and Gomorrah and trying to find 10 righteous men, etc.

"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other." - John Adams, member of the Continental Congress, 2nd President of the United States, Vice President To the United States, Commissioner to France, US Ambassador to England - Oct. 11, 1798, address to the officers of the First Brigade of the Third Division of the Militia of Massachusetts

"God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure if we have removed their only firm basis; a conviction in the minds of men that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever." - Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration, President of the United States - from Query XVIII of his notes on the State of Virginia
