You can put a large proportion of the blame on actual Christians who have been dropping the ball.
May God help me to never again hold my peace in voice or on paper when my Lord is being ridiculed and scorned by the Christ-hating liberal elite who now have near-total control of this once Christian nation. It's not so much us believers who they hate, although they do despise us, it's our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ who somewhere in their hearts they know is truth and light in both this sin-blighted world and the perfect world yet to come.
