I believe that a significant part of our “culture” problem is that we’ve allowed the definition of culture to be constrained. Certainly, the arts are one leg but religion is the other. Unfortunately, we’ve allowed the prohibition of religious discourse in all of our public institutions and relegated it to the private institutions only.
Without an effective moral compass, we cannot govern ourselves and are doomed to more regulation, less freedom, and more strife. More study of real history would help but the history we dish-up today has also been stripped of a positive view of religion on people’s lives.
