Sadly I think demographically the majority of people in this country regard themselves as non religious. Interesting that our culture has shifted in this direction and that it mirrors the way people treat each other these days. Religiousness has strong elements of the 10 commandments integrated into its structure which if I am not mistaken are the foundation of civilized society. If all civil laws are out the window one might find some respite and companionship in a place where the law originated.



I agree with this post.


The wife and I are planning to move for these very reasons. When society implodes I want to be surrounded by neighbors who have common values. I am looking at Tenn, northern Alabama, maybe south west VA near Tenn. I would love to move to Texas or OK but we have kin folk in VA. Our little hillbilly church discusses these issues right now. We try to look out for each other already. As I understand it, the local militia at Concord and Lexington was primarily organized around the local church as was almost all of local societal interaction of that day up north.
