Rush just made a good point that the church membership may be declining among the churches that have gone over to the dark side with regard to homosexuality etc, but he is betting that the membership in churches that hold true to the Bible are probably remaining strong.
That's what I've been saying for a long time. This absurd figure of "2 billion Christians" that gets constantly repeated is a crock. I'd be surprised if there were actually 500 million practicing, believing Christians in the world.
The church attendance figures for the US are also heavily suspect. Some argue that actual attendance is about half of that claimed by people being polled.
The media is just dancing a gig over this news. It seems to even be eclipsing the Baltimore anarchy.
