Thought this might be germaine to the discussion. I got it from a different thread - it's a statement by a spokesman from the pseudo religious National Council of (Communist) Churches.
"Marcus Welty, a researcher with the National Council of Churches, said mainline Protestants may not equal the numbers of their Evangelical counterparts, and their members may not be as churchgoing, but they do lead religious lives demonstrated by their volunteering for causes like reducing poverty and championing certain issues in communities."
In other words, it is the evangelicals that are attending church, not the "mainline" (theologically liberal) ones.

In other words, it is the evangelicals that are attending church, not the "mainline" (theologically liberal) ones. You're right. The beautiful, historic, Protestant mainline churches are empty, except for the elderly. The Presbyterians, United Church of Christ, the Methodists, the Lutherans, etc. have been taken over at the highest level by DEMOCRATS.
IMO, one of the reasons they've gone downhill is because they're PRO-CHOICE. They even give medical abortion coverage to their pastors and send money to the NCC, which is used for liberal causes.
The evangelical Protestant churches are PRO-LIFE and do not send money to the NCC.
