Since when does church attendance equal faith? If we go back half a century the pews were full in liberal mainline protestant denominations throughout the northeast. Very few were actual believers, as evidenced by how few of their children and grandchildren remain in the church and as evidenced by their leftist theology. I wouldn’t get too excited about southern church attendance.
Since when does or will LeoMcNeil open his eyes to see more than one aspect? Do you really want to contend that the South does not have the most conservative Christians, and that the churches that hold to infant baptism do not overall tend to be the most liberal/"progressive." And the most dead overall?
