Is it any wonder??? And excuse me for being political, but a government that condones and encourages handouts. Buckle up 'cause I am afraid it is only going to get worse before it gets better.
I am not sure that attacks on Christianity are happening and I doubt that even if it were it is not why society is currently trending downward. We do have violence in music and video games for sure but we also have seriously sick mental cases walking our streets and no way to care for them, unless it seems they commit a horrendous crime.

There is surely a lot to blame on society's woes but it goes much deeper than the normal ones you stated. This country does not educate their youth, has made it impossible to send our kids to college without being very rich or have a kid fortunate to be 7-2 and able to dunk a basketball or being a 5 star athlete in certain sports. Our country's healthcare is one of the worst of the civilized nations, we have a broken political system where one party is praised for saying no and the other not able to capitalize on it.

You could go on and on on the reasons but a once great nation is no longer controlled any longer by its citizens but by mega rich companies and lobby's which control the elected officials who once upon a time used to work for us.
