Lots of Atheists, more Muslims, Fewer Christians and Jews: This is the New America
The Daily Telegraph (UK) ^ | 12/16/13 | Damian Thompson

The Washington Post has produced six massively detailed maps showing the religious make-up of America. The main map is above – if you want to enlarge it you'll have to click through to the Post's report here. The author/analyst, Niraj Chokshi, has uncovered some fascinating material – most of it lurking in the 2010 US Religion Census (data submitted by congregations, not the official US Census) but so much more surprising set out in map form. And here's an example.

Did you know there are – possibly – now more religious Muslims than religious Jews in Florida? I know, it seems incredible. Miami Beach has had 15 Jewish mayors, there are getting on for 200 synagogues in South Florida – and, of course, it was the hunting ground of the despicable Bernie Madoff. But here's a section from the map of Eastern states, grouped by region.............

Democrats Love radical Islam. Democrats would love to see a US at 50-60% Muslim

I know for a fact some of those “other” counties are Amish/Mennonite - cause I grew up in one of them.

wait till the war starts—wait until America’s back is to the wall and the enemy is at the gates—wait until rationing hits hard, and the newspapers list all who are dead because of enemy strikes—then the churches will be full! “There are no athiests in the foxholes of Bataan,” once said a wise general. Will it come? You bet—Socrates said “ Only the dead have seen the end of war,” and he was the wisest of the Ancient Greeks. If you think somehow, with are gagets and polls, we are somehow different sort of critters—I come to burst your bubble. War—a big, grim, terrible war with the body bags in the millions is coming—Anti-War protestors will be jailed—the draft—men and women—Aliens, criminals, homeless will be in uniform and sent to the front to become cannon fodder. In the end there will be no need to worry about too many people on earth—there will be too few.

Good Morning. Just got up. Need my coffee.

Are you talking about the “end of the age?” as described in the Bible?

Interesting how the posted map resembles the ‘red state/blue state’ division in this country...

This is why Americans have been arming themselves to the teeth in guns.

Yes, I do actually—if it is hyped by the right people. I really believe this is being engineered to turn America into a majority Muslim country. Why? Simply because Muslims more easily embrace a dictatorial political system.

Catholic blue shows a strong correlation to liberal blue.

The use of red and blue in that graphic seems remarkably appropriate. Perhaps Latter Day Saints should have been maroon, for further clarification. :)

Yet look for Christian missionaries from global south nations to bring the Gosple of Jesus back to the west, including America.

Atheists, especially leftist atheists, aren’t atheistic - they’re anti-Christian. That’s why they have no problem with promoting Islam.

Considering Muslim are less than 1% as of 2010 then I'd say they've got their work cut out for them.

School shooters come from fatherless homes, are into the Occult, have liberal mothers, and take psychoactive drugs....

Atheism for the masses means more killings...

the war will be with China and a number of her allies she is buying—and this war we may not win—In the treaty we will need to give up Hawaii, and maybe Alaska—and take hundreds of Millions of Chinese. It will be over in a year—and in the end we will be a 3rd world nation—but we will have Obamacare!

Just this week, a group of Satanists launched a donation drive to erect a monument on Oklahoma’s Capitol grounds, in what some see as a test of the nation’s religious freedoms.

Anton LaVey's Church of Satan was an atheist religion. Who are these "Satanists" and who are they affiliated with? Do they accept the Christian premise that Satan exists only because God exists?

The Saudi government is funding Islamic mosques in the West just as Mexico is pushing the invasion at our Southern border (they even encourage citizens to vote in both elections).

The nation is being subverted by foreign powers.
