"A half-century ago, when the United States was closer to being a Christian nation than it is today, racial segregation was normal, homosexual relations were felonious, and pregnant adolescents were entitled to the coat hanger of their choice. A little earlier, we had concentration camps for Japanese-Americans. Earlier still, there were lynch mobs, and, before that, we had slavery, Indian removal, and child labor, all of which were supposedly smiled upon by God"
