I guess it depends on what you view as a decline. When you consider the fact that, as God has been evicted from America, so too has America slowly disposed of wonderful official and semi-official institutions which Americans previously justified using Jesus Christ and the Bible (which, of course, absolutely does endorse all of the following): slavery, racial discrimination, sex discrimination, discrimination against homosexuals, and the genocide of neighbors (Native Americans were our Canaanites). Your religion may not be responsible for all of these practices starting, but it is unquestionably the reason they endured as long as they did.
Your religion's teachings are responsible for the violent deaths and persecution of millions of people in the United States over centuries, and you have the nerve to blame school shootings on secularism?
