Agreed.
Even in my youth, when I had doubts about my faith, i ALWAYS knew that WE NEEDED Christianity to stay strong in this country.
Now that my faith is much stronger, it is heartbreaking to read that atheism is the fastest growing belief.
I hope that trend changes.
The lamestream media TOLD you that "atheism is the fastest growing belief." Since when do you believe the lamesteam media? How did they get their statistics? Did they do some phony poll? Did they see a few statistics on some church attendance? The lamestream media is FULL OF BALONEY.
The Protestants have no centralized leader to whom poll takers could go to for statistics. So any "count" the media might have is random...and WITHOUT DOUBT negative about Protestant attendance.
Remember, Protestants have NO duty about Sunday church attendance, not even for Easter or Christmas, no attendance duties whatsoever. No holy days, no fasts, abstaining, no tithing, nothing. They are even free to interpret the Word of God ANY WAY they choose. They can marry/divorce/remarry all they want. Henry VIII had six wives. Liz Taylor had seven husbands. I wonder how THAT is following the words of Jesus. [Rhetorical.]
The Catholic Church, however, has local bishops who might report to other dioceses about attendance so there could be some meaningful statistics there.
But truly, no one entity has a CLUE...
Besides you KNOW that the media NEVER have ANYTHING POSITIVE to say about religion. They ESPECIALLY mock the Catholic Church and evangelicals. NOTHING new.
Our Church was founded by Jesus. It will not fail because HE can not fail.
