I'm Baptist, but I read a book written by a cop in NY city about exorcisms performed in NYC. The cop, being a nonreligious man, found himself in the presence of things that could only be explained as demonic. According to him, the behaviors he witnessed were not at all human.
According to him at the time, the number of exorcisms were on the rise, and he knows what he saw was not natural.
Since then, his entire view of Christianity has changed, because without the priests doing this particular job, NYC would be in even bigger trouble than it is now.
When people visit NYC, they're not seeing NYC. They're just seeing the tourist section.

“Anyway, note the change in popular culture in a different way, whereby it is ourselves who are to battle Satan, not God. This can be seen in statues and paintings of Saint Michael. It just happens that before the 1960s, he is depicted with a very calm face, for it is God who does the battle. After the 1960s, Saint Michael has an angry, almost frustrated face, for he is doing the battle himself. Not good. Again, Saint Michael himself said: “May God rebuke you!””

Paintings are a great indication of where we’re heading. The deterioration started around the 14th century. Holland - Antwerp and Haarlem (and other European countries) were forbidden to paint, sculpt, write, publish, anything remotely Catholic. Soon there was no God, no Holy Family, no angels or saints. The Guilds were taken over by rich freemasons, paintings were made bare of anything remotely Catholic. They painted pastural scenes, animals, still life, the usual portraits and discovered the ancient Greek gods and goddess’ which depicted nudes in all varieties of poses...
