Im not sure I agree with the headline. I drive around on Sunday morning and I see the churchs parking lots full of cars.
"losing influence in American life" refers to effects on culture and politics. But church attendance sadly is decreasing year by year - the West

I'm more inclined to go by what I see. When I take my dog to the park on Sunday mornings before I watch football, I drive by four churches of different denominations. All four have FULL parking lots and people are parking on the side-streets.
Seems to me they're doing a good job getting butts in seats.
