Its important to note:
Religion = Morality, but Morality =/= Religion.
The problem is in our society, too many people abandoned religion, and failed to replace it with a secular form of morality that governed people to the extent religion has.
Too many people are getting married and divorced for selfish reasons, and not for moral ones. Most importantly, there is a serious lack of individual and collective pride and deference, something a strong moral, cultural, spiritual or religious backing helps instill. I personally think our multicultural secularism is to blame for this. I don't think its any secret that people who hold fast to their cultural and spiritual beliefs and refuse to compromise them have a better track record in things like marriage, divorce, pride, etc.
