Studying the humanities is important to keep people human in a tech-driven, fast-paced world. As Sophia Gilbert states; “What the humanities teach, what literature and art and music and philosophy and history teach, is that the correct description and analysis of human life is not a scientific affair." <ref>https://www.ebsco.com/blog/article/why-its-important-to-study-the-humanities</ref> Even [[Steve Jobs]] acknowledged the importance of humanities in the creation of Apple. <ref>https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/steve-jobs-technology-alone-is-not-enough</ref>

==Impact on America's Founding==
The founding father's religious beliefs came from the Judeo-Christian values found in the Bible. <ref>https://www.prageru.com/video/were-the-founders-religious/</ref> As Ben Shapiro states thanks to Judeo-Christian values and God "human beings have moral duty not out of [[pragmatism]] but out of principle; that human beings have the capacity and obligation to better their world; that every human being is created in the image of God." <ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/03/western-civilization-revelation-reason-worth-defending/</ref>. While the founders did not create a theocracy, its Founding was deeply shaped by Christian moral values. <ref>https://www.heritage.org/political-process/report/did-america-have-christian-founding</ref> While every other nation has been defined by Race and ethnicity the United States of America has been defined by values. <ref>https://www.prageru.com/video/the-american-trinity-the-three-values-that-make-america-great/</ref>
==Humanities vs STEM==
==Humanities vs STEM==
Unlike STEM subjects which tell us, what is, the humanities help teach us what should be. As the Christian Post points, out that humanities are vital to our spiritual well-being, while STEM subjects teach people facts and information, the humanities teach people meaning and wisdom. Unfortunately, STEM education is being emphasized at the expense of the humanities. <ref>https://www.christianpost.com/news/education-stem-why-humanities-is-more-important-than-science.html</ref> As the government falsely believes that the best way to close the gap is to increase the number of students pursuing STEM degrees. <ref>https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2014/09/stem-education-humanities-creativity-innovation/</ref> During Obama's presidency he made improving STEM education a priority. <ref>https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2016/02/11/stem-all</ref> Science and technology have dominated culture, this has led to the science replacing religion as the main source of questions. <ref>https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/cross-check/why-stem-students-need-humanities-courses/</ref> A study by the Americans for the Arts Arts and Economic Prosperity IV had shown that the nonprofit arts and culture industry accounts for more than four million full-time jobs and more than $135 billion in economic activity. Also, it generates over $22 billion in revenue for local, state, and federal governments each year. <ref>https://projecthumanities.asu.edu/content/oh-humanities-why-stem-shouldnt-take-precedence-over-arts</ref>

But now more than a third of Americans born after 1980 affiliate with no religion. Religion is one of the biggest providers of meaning. <ref>https://www.dailywire.com/news/prager-why-are-so-many-young-people-unhappy-part-2</ref> A study by the Americans for the Arts Arts and Economic Prosperity IV had shown that the nonprofit arts and culture industry accounts for more than four million full-time jobs and more than $135 billion in economic activity.
