Americas decline since prayer was removed from schools


Since the Supreme Court banned school prayer in 1963:

the murder rate tripled;

Violent crime went up 544%;

Prior to 1963, divorce had been declining for 15 consecutive years. After 1963, the divorce rate more than doubled;

unwed birth rates 10-14 years of age shot up 553% by 1983;

Sexually transmitted disease rates (15-19 years of age range) shot up 226% by 1975;

the percent of children living in fatherless households increased from 6% to 40%


Having heard this 1st hand when I go to church here in Canada, I also wanted to do a stat check on our US allies to see how much crime and violance plays in the US after the Lord Prayer was removed there as well.

I recall as a child saying the Lord Prayer in school. It was habituary, No one ever complained and I never ONCE heard of a public complaint from non christian parents that had their Muslim, Jewish,Budhist or any other faith follower complain as a kid that we had to recite it.
I was NOT a christian as a kid yet I am now. I see NO reason why they cant bring it back.
If you, your cild,friend,family memeber and so on doesnt like this....then participate in an environment school of your faith. I have friends that are muslims and non christians and so forth. I would never tell them they cant pray, so why is reciting the Lord Prayer so bad?
As one of you mentioned before above....No one I ever known has gone out and hurt someone after going to a christian church etc. Or after school. Canada and the US were founded on Christian faith and values. Its still on their currency "In God We Trust" even the Pledge to thie Alegence. We need to get back to basics.....Just my opinion.

here is tihe link for the stats I found...there are many ,many more
