Plus, I think we often romanticize the "good ol' days", you know, back when grandpa beat grandma or slapped her if she were out of line and no one thought it was an issue. Incest and molestation was far more common in families. Drinking was rarely even mentioned... even if dad drank himself silly every night.

I never said that sin did not exsist before the 20th century, but if you are suggesting our country is growing closer to God I don't know what to say.

Things were not perfect back then. But the image of perfection was rather important. I believe most of what is in the open today was with us then, there was just more discretion. They hid it better.

It had nothing to do with the an image of perfection, but just plain shame. I was a shame for some of the things people do today to be done back then. You are right people were ashamed back then to do publicly what they do today. You say it as if it is a good thing that we have culture that displays their sins as if they are proud of it. Sin should be repented of not heralded.

As for the church, yes, I can see the church's influence dropping. People are abandoning it. I believe it is because churches are becoming increasingly less relevant to their lives. In addition, the religious political agenda of the church isn't something a lot of people agree with.
