Is there any relationship between loss of cultural values and lack of religious feelings?

No.

None at all! In fact, the opposite is actually happening in the countries you mentioned and all over the world. Where did you get your information? From your church? A bit brainwashed aren't you?

Scandinavian countries actually have the lowest level of divorce rate, child abuse, and violence towards women than other countries in the industrialized world. In contrast, as the largest, most industrialized nation on earth, the US records the highest levels of divorce, violence towards family members, and child molestation than all other industrialized countries. Doesn't bode well for those of you that follow organized religion does it?

What family values are you talking about? Have you really read the Bible closely? It's a book that has very few family values that I certainly would want to follow. Read the book of Peter for instance. His tales of Jesus' life is facinating. Peter describes Jesus asking his disciples to abandon their families and follow him! Abandon wife and child to follow a stranger all over the countryside? Jesus was even rude to his own mother!

If that's the family values you're speaking of...no thanks!

"Family values" are just buzz words for the religious right in today's current political climate. They mean nothing. Look around you. What about the "values" of these so-called "ethical" ministers and priests you read about now? Pedophelias and liars and greedy beggers? Are these the "values" you ask about?

Buddy, you must learn to think for yourself. Do you ACTUALLY believe that if someone doesn't believe in the same god as you do, that this person has no family-life, doesn't care for family members, or doesn't strives to be a good person, loyal spouse, and/or parent? Treating others well and valuing humanity has nothing to do with one's religious dogma. The quicker you understand that, the more advanced this civilization will become.

I hear that kind of complains in my country as well. I also I do not think that Germany is the "paradise" you are describing. I believe that the younger people think that they can "experiment" some more with their lives. Maybe they are right, maybe they are not. I also now that there is a relationship between religion, family and culture. They affect each other in some degree, but they do not determine the results necessarily. For example if a family member losses his "faith" isn't he still a family member?

None.Cultural values change with generations and what you think is right will be taken as culture by your coming generations.So actually there is nothing as 'loss of cultural values'.As for religious feelings,they are the most stupid feelings you can carry with you and serve no purpose whatsoever.

Well, I've never really thought about either of those things before. But I do know, if people would have just loved their families more and not tried to find there own "place" in this world. Things would be way different than they are now.

No. Walmart, the largest retailer on earth, is owned primarily by a Christian family. They don't pay a living wage, or take care of their workers or their workers families.

I don't see the connection between religion and cultural values.

The study of the history and culture, if based on the premise of the oneness of humanity, should lead to a growing appreciation of the diverse religious traditions. This appreciation will be strengthened by interaction with people of different faiths, if the purpose is to promote unity. An everyday familiarity with people of different backgrounds will help each individual to lift the veil of cultural difference and see beneath it the shared humanity of all the peoples of the world. "O people! consort with the followers of all religions in a spirit of friendliness and fellowship,"Bahá'u'lláh commands His followers (Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh, 22). "Consorting with people hath promoted and will continue to promote unity and concord" (Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh, 36).

Those interested in these ideas may well find great encouragement in the experience of the Bahá'í communities. In attempting to put these ideas into practice, the Bahá'í communities are as living laboratories for religious unity; people from every religious tradition meet with the shared intention of establishing and strengthening the ties of unity among them. They gather to worship, to deepen their understanding of spiritual truths, to discover the requirements for social progress, to solve common practical problems, to organize and carry out activities for the welfare of mankind, and, last but not least, simply to enjoy the pleasures of friendship. In these communities religious prejudice has given way to inter-religious brotherhood. They share a common goal: to demonstrate through deeds that the oneness of mankind is a reality and that its fruits are the material, intellectual and spiritual progress of all those who live in its light.
