I believe that soon, very soon, we will either experience the 3rd Great Awakening or the Rapture. If it is the latter, then America will cease to be a major player on the world stage. America has the greatest percentage of Christians in the world and if they suddenly disappear, a significant portion of the tax base also disappears and the US collapses into a third world economy.
Poosibly; I think that there MANY more likely things happening first.
