I just got through watching a segment on FOX News' "Outnumbered" show and the discussion was focusing on out-of-wedlock births in America and the accompanying increasing financial costs of that in welfare payments. The panel was debating the reasons for the rise in out-of-wedlock births. For the record, out-of-wedlock births total some 40% across the board and is just over 70% for black women.

For five minutes they went on and on and not one of them ever made a single allusion to the decline of spirituality and the exodus away from God and his moral laws. Black FOX News anchor Harris Faulkner was prominent in the discussion.
Taking the highest figure - 72% for black women - is especially curious and disheartening since the overwhelming religious preference for blacks is Christianity. One might well argue they (and many non-blacks) don't practice what they believe - that fornication is a sin and that no (unrepentant) fornicators will enter the Kingdom of Heaven (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).
Many blacks, in particular Bill Cosby, have spoken out on the problems and in a number of cases have been attacked for their views. In churches Black, White, and Hispanic, preachers have also addressed the issue, though some have become politically correct to the point they ignore Biblical admonitions against shack up unions, fornication, and gay marriages.
Although there are other reasons as well for all this, I think there's no doubt that there's a spiritual decline in America. And it certainly doesn't appear to look to be in America's best interests.
