Obviously there is no absolute correct answer to this. It's all human opinion.
Years ago, the term Moralistic Theurapuetic Deism was coined in an effort to describe the religious beliefs of the typical US citizen. After years of observation, I tend to agree. Most people do not have their beliefs rooted in the Bible. They tend to have a moralistic attitude about how people should behave. Except it seems the typical American has no problem accepting all manner of sexual behavior, and is unwilling to judge anyone's sexual activity. They believe in a God that everyone can pray to for help. They think that the vast majority of people will die and live in peace in the afterlife. These beliefs do not align in any way with traditional Christianity, but most people don't really care because they don't believe the Bible, and they believe that their belief system makes more sense.
Sound like universalism with is the fallen church which believes that everyone is saved to God as God is love, But God is also Just or Justice people will pass on in the belief

Fortunately this is becoming more common in modern America. Be good for goodness sake, without agenda.
Even people who do have their beliefs rooted in the Bible, tend to reject the culturally outdated components of it's moralistic code. Which in turn, progressively dilutes Christianity to irrelevance.

Another sex gripe thread.
You focus on sex, not greed, violence, hatred, prejudice, or any real meaningful plague in America, but instead, on silly little sexuality. Any reasonable person would know that if we began to address the real problems, God would be more than pleased with people.
Get over the sex complex and address real social concerns.
