We all know not that you have to go to church to be a, a good Christian, but we all know that church attendance is down. We know Belief in God is down. People consider themselves atheistic, used to be under 2%. I think in the 60s, we're now over 18%. These are all big danger signs for our country. And I think moral, God believing, family oriented people are much less likely to go down this path of ridiculous ideas like, you know, you're a woman and should become a man. (35:08–35:20)

CLAIM

Asserts that atheism has increased from under 2% to over 18% since the 1960s.
