Modernity and its secular humanistic religion of agnosticism first attacked Judaism over 100 years ago and decimated it fairly well until the 1970’s when a revival of sorts occurred and today this revival continues. Fewer Jews but observant ones. Just returned from Padre Island Tx and a new synagogue is in the process of formation. The Catholics there have a large church and about 3000 attend in four services on Sunday. Most are elderly from Mn,Wis, Iowa and Mich, with the under 40 crowd being Mexican and Viet Namese. Mainline Protestant churches demonstrate little or no activity. Thus it appears that modernity will destroy these Mainline Protestant congregations but Jews and Catholics will survive, albeit in fewer numbers.
