According to CP Politics studies (-Formal reference) "Americans are becoming more hostile and negative toward Christianity."

As portrayed in the movie Beowulf and Grendel, Beowulf does not speak of God’s glory and can even be found mocking the monk with his men. The film’s interpretation has directed Beowulf's character to forbid the talk of God to one on his men by shouting, “None of that God talk”.

Stripped of our spiritual morality which has now been replaced with the tempting factors this world has to offer. Drugs, alcohol, sexual immorality, media obsession, game and phone addictions just to name a few are some of the things that are now in control of our lives. Yet we don't feel an urgency to change, simply because we have fallen into a pit of lies; sadly once one has fallen into this pit it becomes harder to hear the voice of truth and honesty. It is important now more than ever that we become aware of God’s great power and restoring
