The reason that so few Americans attend church is that so few churches are Christian. Liberal pastors speak much of unity and peace and social justice and harmony and the like. The human condition and the Cross are seldom preached in many churches. And if the claim seems too vague, I will name names (generally speaking): Presbyterian Church USA, United Methodist Church, United Church of Christ, Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, and the Episcopal Church USA, to name a few.

These churches have gutted the authority of the Scriptures so they, in turn, have no authority. The message of the church and thus it's power is found only in the gospel. Rom. 1:16

[Wilhelm Tell]

A lot of churches have become "relevant" to todays passing fads -- and many of these "relevant" fads are contributing to society's problems! Much of value has been watered down or dumbed down if not denied altogether.
