We have also evolved into a country of diverse beliefs as well. Not everyone follows strict laws based on religious teaching, nor was raised in a religious based household either.
You're not following what I'm saying. This goes way before this country ever existed. I'm talking about at the beginning of civilized man if there was no concept of religion, how would our view of morals be today?
Religion set a standard for morality in history. Sure a person is raised in an atheist household today, but they still have knowledge of religion. They were taught standard morality, those that taught it learned it from someone who taught them..and go back far enough eventually those teachings of morality came from someone who was religious. there is no race or culture that is atheist in nature to have a true lineage of atheism. At some point, all morality came from religion.
I'm not implying people can't be good without religion. There is actually no way of telling unless you isolate people from birth and give them no knowledge ever, in any way, of morality to see if the human mind in inherently good or evil naturally..or if it's by random both.

Then maybe some Christians need to hang up the "this country is going to shite without God" comments? Can't have it both ways.

There's no way of ever knowing if it did or not. And even if it did, it was far different from the modern day Southern Baptist version of morality. The world's first religions didn't deal with "morality" in that sense.

God gave the Hebrews instructions on how to sell your daughter as a sex slave. You think that's morally right?
