Back even 200 years ago, pretty near everyone was religious. These days there are many more unbelievers than there used to be, because people are more educated now, in general, and can read the bs for themselves. Divided? You mean along party lines?yeah... cause people without religion are not divided.Religion has separated people into different groups who are all taught to hate each other, that the other is wrong, a pervert, sick... We need Freedom FROM religion, not Freedom of Religion. Time for another Amendment.The decline of religiosity began in America in the 1960s. And ever since year after year religion has had less and less influence on our culture/society.
In fact today, as we saw with the latest Supreme Court nominee... being religious can even be considered a vice. When did that happen?
And where has it got us?
Some good. Gay people being accepted as equals, and not judged as perverts and sickos.
Having difficulty finding anything beneficial other than that.
The bad is plenty.
Look around you. Everyone is a narcissist now. And all of the problems that go with that. The country is more divided than it ever was. We are literally dangerously close to losing everything our forefathers fought for.
We got a show on a prominent channel that attempts to normalize gross sexualization of 11 year old girls.
I watched a show last night (Ratched) where a nurse masturbated a serial murderer... but the viewer warnings at the beginning of the show listed "smoking", as if seeing someone smoke is worse than sitting in your living room watching someone jerk off.
Porn, particularly incestual and sadistic porn, where the most popular "models" are girls who only months before were in high school. They are exploited, pimped out discarded like trash once no longer popular. Some scarred for life. But no one cares. You see... paying someone to have sex is illegal and unacceptable. But put a camera in the room and record it... it is all good. Because that makes sense.
You can lose your job for wearing a cross around your neck. But a guy who is sexually aroused wearing women's clothing is now a hero.
How did we get this fucked up. Where as many as 10% of teens are on anti-depressants, and another 6 percent taking behavioral modification pills.
Of those that do get married, over half fail.
We have populations in society where over 70% of kids grow up without a father significantly involved in their life. And the result of that plays itself out every weekend in cities like Chicago, Philadelphia and others.
Are we happier? Obviously not, the percentage of people in America taking anti-depressants is nearing 1 in 5.
You are concentrating on the worst aspects of ancient times. That has nothing to do with modern America. As I stipulated. You are introducing another topic.I think everyone understood this is topic about modern society, not what happened 1,000 - 3,000 years ago in various religions.Secular is empirically better, and the evidence for that is that all of the desert Religions became looser and looser in their interpretations once certain aspects of their texts were deemed barbaric. Stonings, slavery, baby killing, raping, plundering, the subjugation of women...etc....was all deserted by these Religions over time when those practices became frowned upon in Secular Society.
And
What happened 1 to 3, 000 years ago was that these Religions were Barbaric.
Their practices changed over time, you just elucidated as much.
Did their God change with the times? No, he's supposed to be their arbiter of Objective Morality...so how did the various Religions' mores shift over time, then? Societal(Secular) evolution(obviously). And your post, seemingly accidentally, contributed to further elucidate that phenomena.

I didn't create a topic about religions, and how they have evolved over 3000 years.
FFS - the very first line in the OP is the decline of religiosity beginning in 1960s, and what effects of that moralism being replaced by secular moralism. IN MODERN AMERICA. Not Iraq in 100 AD.

I would say it goes like this...
Highest population % -
1) Believers, whether active in religion or not.
2) Agnostic
3) Athiest
Sigh.... I am not arguing against your point G.T. - in fact you are obviously correct in what it is you are talking about.You are missing the point.You are concentrating on the worst aspects of ancient times.

Religious moralism has been being replaced all of those thousands of years, and you're ONLY admitting it over and over.
FFS, it's the exact empirical evidence that clearly, Secular morality has been ahead of Religious morality for thousands of years...Secular Humanism has LITERALLY changed their behaviors from the word of their God(s).
That's the point.
Your point was defeated by admitting as much - here's how:Sigh....

What the OP is talking about are those changes in MODERN AMERICA. Now. Not the change of religions throughout the world over all time. That is an entirely different/broader study.

more the decline of the desert religions than religiosity.
civil rights for some reason was a major wedge issue in the early 60's that became a liberation between generations encompassing society as a whole and oddly the rejection of the previous mccarthy era was a primary motivation that saw the collapse of the previous generation that is yet to be reconciled.

Secular moralism and religious moralism. Which is better?
only one is made up not better, how metaphysical life came into being.
Let's take a look at one of the most religious state Alabama. Does it have higher level of morality that 'secular' states? And if yes, in what ways it can be seen - significantly lower level of crime, homelessness, hospitals for the poor etc? How their religious morality helped them to live through the current pandemic?The decline of religiosity began in America in the 1960s.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
King James Version
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Secular is empirically better, and the evidence for that is that all of the desert Religions became looser and looser in their interpretations once certain aspects of their texts were deemed barbaric. Stonings, slavery, baby killing, raping, plundering, the subjugation of women...etc....was all deserted by these Religions over time when those practices became frowned upon in Secular Society.
