America Pushes the Panic Button

Dennis Prager discusses some of the ways America's character has declined and how it might affect us in the wake of another terrorist attack:

Fear of dying has increased as many of America's citizens and elite institutions have become increasingly irreligious, even anti-religious. One major consequence of secularism is fear of dying. After all, with no God and no religion, this life is all there is.
