Mayfield, who is 37, comes from a family of non-church-goers, Alexander told The Associated Press.

Symtomatic of those who opt for designer religions or feel-good philosophies in place of a real religion.

The soul needs spirituality just like the body needs food and nutrition. If the counterfeit religions of the left fail to provide it, then Islamofacism will fill the vacuum. I remember this every Sunday morning when I'd rather laay in bed than take my family to church. I do not want my daughters to mary a designer Christian or an Islamofacist.

Your comments are a superb analysis of these people:

We have seen an interesting trend with people our age. They attended church on a regular basis when their children were growing up. When the last kid went to college or away, they became C&E's.

However, when that first grandchild was born and baptized in the church, many started attending again on a regular basis. I have kidded some of the born agains, and they admitted that the grandchild got them back into regular church attendance.

We never stopped attending.
