Was Jedidiah Morse Right?

Jedidiah Morse, father of Samuel Morse (the inventor of the Morse Code) said this about the importance of Christianity to the culture and the administration of government: “To the kindly influence of Christianity we owe that degree of civil freedom, and political and social happiness which mankind now enjoys. In proportion as the genuine effects of Christianity are diminished in any nation, either through unbelief, or the corruption of its doctrines, or the neglect of its institutions; in the same proportion will the people of that nation recede from the blessings of genuine freedom, and approximate the miseries of complete despotism… Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican forms of government, and all the blessings that flow from them, must fall with them.” Was Jedidiah Morse right about this? Asked another way: How is this multiculturalism working out for our culture? Looking at the degrading of western Christian society and those western countries who are sanitising their Christian foundations you would have to think; yes he was right and that multiculturalism is starting to erode the framework of social happiness and therefore cultures of peace and freedom in our society.
