1 - Obviously needs to be "chosen" but otherwise valid - that whole "special protection" thing is less common these days.
2 - Don't think it ever went away after the 50s, but certainly got worse
3 - Not sure I buy this one
4 - It helped - but not sure it really made a huge difference - the wave was coming anyway.

2. According to the Bible there is only one chosen nation |
|
and it is not in North America
So many gods to chose from in the Christo religion ........ which one will rule??
Always inter-faith ......... so much fighting between the faiths now
And if atheists are coming out it is because they are being pushed by the christian fundies

3. 5. Anti-Islamic prejudice became far more widespread and accepted. |
|
That is the MAIN change I've seen in America's religious attitudes.
