"Dead" is a ridiculous term here. What is happening is a realization that we live in a culture that has moved each year farther away from the Judeo-Christian teachings that founded it. As such, it becomes increasingly difficult to find and elect people based on whether that person holds to those teachings or not, and likewise difficult to enact laws that reflect them.
It used to be said that you cannot legislate morality. The truth is that is ALL you can legislate as the law is nothing more than the moral statement of society.
As society changes its morals, the laws change in concert.
If people continue to try and vote only for people who hold their religious beliefs or moral beliefs we will have more Obamas and more Clintons and less rights. That is the realization we are coming to.
