According to Billboard… Bill O’Reilly is blaming the decline of religion in America on hip-hop… I guess you gotta blame something… Truth be told there are tons of reasons religion has taken a back seat in the U.S… And I believe the thought of the American dream has more to do with it than anything else… Wealth!!! You know the thing that is the root of all evil… Money… What does that make Money Mayweather? The Devil?…

Back to Bill… “There is no question that people of faith are being marginalized by a secular media and pernicious entertainment,” O’Reilly stated… “The rap industry, for example, often glorifies depraved behavior. That sinks into the minds of some young people — the group that is most likely to reject religion.”

According to Billboard the Washington Post points out that black Americans are actually the least likely group to reject religion these days. And considering that black Americans are statistically more likely to listen to hip-hop than white Americans, the whole “hip-hop is killing religion” argument almost immediately falls apart.
