Well, maybe so -- but I am seeing less and less bible influence in U.S. society today, generally speaking.
(Btw, I am an agnostic deist who was raised Methodist, so I am about as neutral on the subject as it is possible to be UNTIL some Christian evangelist starts talking about those who don't believe as they do, saying that they are evil and will burn in hell, etc., but seeing Christmas decorations and hearing Christmas carols don't bother me a bit.)
"but seeing Christmas decorations and hearing Christmas carols don't bother me a bit.)"
Good for you.
Do you see the irony how so many on the left attack Christians and yet still give CHRISTmas presents want to receive them, decorate their homes etc?
I am concerned that they will be TOO conservative for my liking -- meaning a return to ignoring minorities and instituting fundamentalist bible-thumping beliefs into government. I think it is unfortunate that "heritage" to many people means a return to "Euro-white Christian" (and exclusively heterosexual) culture.
However, if this organization would just stick to a policy of liberty for all (so long as such liberty does not physically harm anyone) and a complete "reinstatement" of First Amendment rights (and especially an end to censorship in virtually all cases).

They will be. They say NO abortion, including the morning after pill, and no euthanasia (I think euthanasia should be available to those with painful and incurable illness).
They also want to get rid of employer-sponsored health care. It sounds like they just want a free market, mostly unregulated, that will leave millions without adequate health care.
Then there's marriage, which sounds like it comes straight from the Bible:
Goal #3: Promoting Stable and Flourishing Married Families. Families
comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of
a well-ordered nation and healthy society."
I think most people would notice and appreciate #4 - Schedule F. It really is time to reign in the career civil servants from making and enforcing "policy". Many of these agencies ( Department of Education, ATF, FBI, HUD, the entire Justice Department, IRS etc) are literally writing, interpreting and enforcing law. Nobody voted on it. Nobody signed it into law. Per the Constitution, that's not the way it's suppose to work.
Trump tried to stop it by making bureaucrats engaging in policy making more accountable. To no one's surprise, Biden reversed the Executive Order and it's just business as usual.
It's ironic to me that so many of the people screaming 'Democracy!" are ok with unelected civil servants writing their own laws. Nothing could be more anti-Democracy.
You swapped "influence" for "instruction," completely changing the idea I was agreeing with.
I thought this forum was better than twitter and that the people here were more careful with their words.
It doesn't change the post though. I think social media is far more responsible than lack of Bible influence.
There was a lack of Bible influence even when I grew up in the 70's. Most people I knew did not go to church or were very religious. But did not behave so boorishly. The only thing different now is social media and the internet.
I am curious why you think you are far right? I agree with most of your posts, and I never found anything to indicate that you are what I would consider to be far right, which I define as being a white evangelical Christian white bigot who hates anyone who is not white, Christian and heterosexual, and who also has the attitude that the U.S. is -- and has always been -- the greatest country in the world and that anyone who doesn't think so should be deported.
You're buying the bull chips. The left is far more racist than the right.
