Was the United States a perfect society? No. No one I have heard ever claimed it was. We have had some horrible things in our past. But when I was growing up in the 40's and 50s it was a far far better place than it is now. Was there racism? Sure, but the American people pushed to make things better. Were we all Christians? Certainly not, but the Judeo-Christian ethic was the commonly accepted system of values. It may not have been followed perfectly but it was still the publically accepted norm.
Today that system of beliefs is ridiculed and rejected. We, as a nation, value what feels good at the moment with little concern for the future or for consequences.
