Why Our Country’s Moral System Is Decaying

The fatal habit of considering Christian morals as distinct from Christian doctrines insensibly gained strength.  Thus the peculiar doctrines of Christianity went

the moral system itself also began to wither and decay,
being robbed of that which should have supplied it with life and nutriment. 
– William Wilberforce
