“... a lot of them cease to be Christian at all. ”
Can you explain that?
To me, that REALLY IS incomprehensible.
By far the number one reason for drop in religiosity for practically any denomination really is apathy. Theres so much more tv to watch and video games to play and meetings to attend to care as much about church. The rhythm of modern consumerist living just doesn’t support churchgoing like the closer knit family based society of yesteryear. I’d say antireligious sentiment and church bungling are distant secondary factors in religious decline and are almost as much consequences as they are causes as much as people believe otherwise. I think people are still about as religious in the generic sense as they ever were its just that traditional religions are now replaced by amorphous spirituality or worship of sjw causes like feminism. Old school religions might have a shot if they can figure out a better strategy than simply adapting every leftist philosophy as fast as possible.
