“...the hard truth is that evangelicals are sleeping with partners to whom they are not married. Hundreds of thousands of them, with barely a word even spoken... “

If it were only hundreds of thousands of them.

Try millions.

If evangelicals have their millions (and even making "born again" the same as Evangelical-which is not necessarily the same - it is liberally estimated there are 90-100 million Evangelical Americans) then Rome has her billions, or comparative greater numbers.

Really? Are there hard numbers somewhere to support that? Or is that supposition? If the latter, it is defamatory to say such things without proof. I know people sin sexually, but unless you include lust of the heart adultery, actually crossing the line physically is probably less common than imagined for traditional, Christian couples, of any denomination. I am willing to reconsider this position if credible statistics are available to the contrary, but not on a wisp of supposition.

Numbers are very hard to determine. A large portion of the membership of most churches seldom or never attend. Of those that do attend only a small part tithe, which is a testament to their trust in God. So the author is probably right about hundreds of thousands of active church members living in sin. And you are probably correct about millions of total church members living in sin.

I thought this article was interesting:

...we are no longer the moral majority. We are a prophetic minority.
