America is suffering from a national and spiritual identity crisis.

Today many in America are hostile to Christianity, hold dual citizenship and have divided loyalties. The spiritual and patriotic surge after 9/11 has faded away. The core values of our present culture often mock religion.

At the same time Christians know that any kind of racial or ethnically intolerant society is non-Christian. The core value of our creed promotes the dignity of all people as a major Christian virtue. We believe all men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.

Liberty is one of our unalienable rights. The core value is emphasized in Scripture. Freedom of religion is under attack from atheist, ACLU, media, internet, liberal politicians and a government that has become secular and seeks globalization.

Today America needs a new commitment to God and the values of our founding fathers. It can so quickly slip away as it has in other nations.

We need to promote a recommitment to our creeds, a respect for American history and a greater role for both faith and patriotism. Our founders’ Judeo-Christian history helped produce a culture in which moral responsibility transcended other ideas and the dignity of all people could flourish. We must continue to bring a biblical influence to the public square. If America abandons its religious moorings all will be lost.

France is losing its national identity. It is estimated that by 2050, eighty percent of France will be Muslim and this diversity will wipe out their culture of identity. Switzerland has banned the construction of Muslim mosques. Islam is the fastest growing religion in our prisons and general population. Even in China and South Korea, immigration has made these nations homogenous. In the light of globalization, a world economy and a blending of many religions it might be wise to ask, as Americans, “Who are we?”
