Overview

Do you know what happened when religious principles were separated from public affairs? On June 25, 1962, the Supreme Court first struck down school prayer by prohibiting students from using this simple invocation: “Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and beg Thy blessing upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our Country.” Following this case, the Court began methodically expelling other religious principles; the effects have been evident. This book uses government statistics to show that 1962—the year religious principles were first separated from public affairs—was the year that the decline started in youth, education, families, and the nation. These are examples of the more than 40 charts presented in America: To Pray or Not to Pray.
