Two speakers discuss an Elon Musk retweet and a PragerU survey showing that even atheists want more Americans in church. They argue that weekly church attendance and father figures are the main drivers preventing crime, loneliness, and depression.
Erika said go to church. Elon Musk retweeted it, which is wild. I would hope that— I hope that he was tweeting it on his way to church. We saw Elon Musk singing along, singing some worship songs.
Let's go. There's the tweet. Megan 2 showed me an interesting survey, PragerU, put up. Would you like Americans to attend church, or twice as many Americans to attend church as now, half as many, or you're happy with the number now? And most voted for twice as many, And many voted on the second question, "Are you a believer or atheist?" as they were atheists. So a lot of atheists were voting that they would like to see more people go to church, which by the way makes perfect sense to me because they know that it would solve a lot of our social problems if more people were religiously active. I think— I don't think, I know it would solve the problems of loneliness, not all, but many. It would solve the problem of depression among many people. It would solve the issue of despair. I mean, so many things. And it would would be morally beneficial. Generally speaking, our prisons are not filled with violent offenders who had attended church that Sunday. Is that fair to say? It is amazing that nobody looks into that. With all of the studies of what produces criminals, they don't bother with the most obvious. They didn't go to church that previous Sunday and they didn't have a dad in their lives. Between those two, you have solved the violent crime problem for all intents and purposes in the United States of America. It has little to do with guns and a vast amount to do with fathers and God.
