'God' wasn't kicked out or school.
Religious clubs are allowed at public schools. Students can pray anytime they want before school, during breaks, after school.
Sorry to burst your "society is falling apart" fantasy you have going on with a little bit of facts (facts must really suck for you, huh?), but crimes against children have been on a downward trend for decades.
As per Crimes Against Children Research Center -
- From 1990 to 2007, substantiated cases of child sexual abuse have declined 53% and physical abuse substantiations have declined 52%. Child neglect has declined only 6%, mostly fluctuating over the same period.
- From 1993 to 2005, sexual assaults on teenagers decreased by 52%. The subgroup of assaults by known persons decreased even more dramatically.
Other crimes against children 12 to 17 years old have also declined:
- Aggravated assault down 69%
- Simple assault down 59%
- Robbery down 62%
- Larceny down 54%

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
