Will America follow Europe’s foot steps down the slippery slope?

When a society becomes more secular then Christianity, it shows degradation of morals, and other aspects of a healthy society. Europe is a good example of a society going more secular. America should take heed of the consequences.

Europe the cradle of modern  Christianity with all of its fine cathedrals is quickly changing into a post-Christian society. Declining church attendance, increase of alcoholism, and beliefs in occult ideas are some of the caused attributed to the decline of Christianity.  USA Today reports:

"Common wisdom has it that alcoholics outnumber practicing Christians and that more Czechs believe in UFOs than believe in God — and common wisdom may be correct," wrote Nate and Leah Seppanen Anderson in a Prague Post commentary; he’s a freelance writer, and she’s a political science professor at Wheaton College in Illinois and a specialist in Czech politics and society. Surveys show a sharp decline in church attendance and religious practice in most European countries. A series of Eurobarometer surveys since 1970 in five key countries (France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Italy) shows that regular church attendance fell from about 40% of the population to about half that figure. Declines were sharpest in predominantly Catholic nations.

Even the mention of Christianity and its history is taboo.

Any mention of the continent’s religious past or contributions of Christian culture — in a preface citing the sources of Europe’s distinct civilization — would be exclusionary and offensive to non-Christians, many argued. Former French president Valery Giscard d’Estaing, who presided over the process, summed up the dominant view: "Europeans live in a purely secular political system, where religion does not play an important role."

And the demographics are also destroying Europe.

Among the consequences of Europe’s abandonment of its religious roots and the moral code that derives therefrom is a plunge in its birth rates to below the replacement level. Abortion, birth control, acceptance of gay marriage and casual sex are driving the trend. Europe is "committing demographic suicide, systematically depopulating itself," according to Weigel.

Hence immigration of non-Christians is encouraged to help replenish the dwindling work force and changing the face of Europe for the worse as freedom of religion an other society ills take over..

Is this what is in store for America?
