The USA was populated by people who generally believed, in Judeo-Christian tradition. No longer. Over the past 25 years, religion has dramatically

declined in America. In 1996, 270 million people lived in the USA. Now it's about 330 million. In 1996, 88% of the population described itself as Christian. now 65%. 96, 24% of the population was Catholic, now 20%, 96, 66, 62% of the population was Protestant, now 43%. Judaism, 96, 1.4, 2021, 2.4%. Muslim, 96, 1.4%. Muslim, 96, 1% now, now, 1%. Atheist agnostic, no religion. 1996, 9% of the population, now 26%, the biggest increase by far in this area. Members who attend weekly services, 96, 65% went to worship every week. Today, 30%. It's a drop of more than 50%. Protestants, 96, 60% went to church weekly, now 22%. That's an astronomical drama. Jews, 20% and 96 attended, now 12%. Divorce rate, 1996, 15% in the USA. Now 50%. Poverty rate, 96, 10% now 13%.

Drug-related deaths, 1996, 9,000. Today, more than 100,000. So you can see that the decline in religion corresponds with the uptick in social problems. We are now a secular country, where right and wrong is often blurred. that means more questionable behavior, that means more criminal brutality, that means far less accountability for negative actions. So when you have a general philosophy, as the founding fathers did, that Judeo-Christian tradition, which is based upon the Ten Commandments, should be the theme of the country, then you have a way to regulate behavior. But once that disappears,

and it's every man or woman for his or herself that you can do pretty much what you want to do, and now laws are not even being enforced, then you are on the road to, anarchy.

Forty years ago today, the Princess of Monaco died suddenly after her car veered off a mountain pass on the Cote d'Azor. Throughout her life, the princess was an international icon of beauty and glamour. Here is the story of Grace Kelly. Ms. Kelly was born on November 12, 1929 in Philadelphia. Her father was an Olympic athlete, her mother, a former model. Grace began acting at the age of four.

In 1949, when she was 20 years old, she debuted on Broadway. But her big break came in 1952 when she starred as Gary Cooper's wife in the Western High Noon. Later, her performance in the country girl won an Oscar for Best Actress. She then appeared in a series of movies, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, including rear window and dial M for murder. Grace Kelly retired from acting in 1956 when she married Prince Rainier, the Regent of Monaco. The two met months earlier at a film festival in southern France. The public was so enamored by the relationship that their

engagement was front-page news all over the place, including the New York Times. The couple lived the life of leisure. They appeared in fashion magazines, sporting events, Royal Functions on September 13, 1982. Ms. Kelly suffered a stroke while driving her car on a mountain road near the Mediterranean Sea. Her vehicle plunged down a 45-foot cliff. Princess Grace died the following day at age 52. And here's something else. You might not know. One of Grace Kelly's closest friends was Princess Diana. The two bonded because they were princesses. After the death, Diana wrote directly to Queen Elizabeth for permission to attend Grace Kelly's funeral. The Queen allowed Diana to visit Monaco, and the ceremony was her first

foreign trip representing the English monarchy. Princess Diana herself died in a car wreck in France 15 years later. Back after this. Power, politics and the people behind the headlines.
