God is dead

That's about 11% over 15 years, US Christains have dropped to non believers.

Other Surrey said, With double of US non-believers have increased in 10 years.

The wrath of God upon us or is God fading away.
God must be pissed with these numbers.

There is more information and it's more readily available. Obtaining access to other worldviews used to be something one had to actively seek out, unless it was stumbled upon somehow. The information age has changed all that.

Honest Abe said it best.

We've come a long way from burning witches at the stake and holding religious leaders in high regard (in most third world dwellings). However, there is a liberal intellectualism and "wokeness" (a word I dislike) that runs to the defense of totalitarian regimes, unwittingly, by refusing to recognize that certain barbaric practices continue to take place in some countries. The power of "protecting" certain groups, and "respect" for religious belief overrides humanity.

Here is an example of this. To hate another's religion is, in many cases, to protect the individuals who are victims of it.

In addition, I've stated here before that I'm not sold on the number of believers being significantly fewer. I observe that the beliefs have just evolved into many other things, including "spiritual but not religious" or belief in "the universe."

These are often still claims to honour a higher power.

It is interesting to consider how important it is to know how the questions are asked when you look at polling statistics.

Great. Then let them fade on out quickly. The sooner the better. Mike Pence and friends may lose out in the end after all.

“The array of Gallup results leads to the conclusion that putting a percentage on Americans’ belief in God depends on how you define “belief,” the new survey report explained. “If the standard is absolute certainty — no hedging and no doubts — it’s somewhere around two-thirds. If the standard is a propensity to believe rather than not to believe, then the figure is somewhere north of three-quarters.”

Surprise, surprise, surprise (not). The Christian 'morality' has become evident to all but the most nimble of brain and it has been found devoid to substance. To be a devout christian these days is to be a hateful, narcissistic, selfish, arrogant, vicious, greedy hypocrite. Not a very desirable club.

I think it's fairly accurate. Tv isn't really reality. They keep shoving it up front in media because they're worried that god is fading away. Around here where I live, the preachers are really worried about nobody in the pews like before. When I was a kid, they're about 2/3 more people in church than now. I love it because the information age are proving that they are full of it. I can only imagine what it will be in the next 20 years. Hopefully I will live long enough to watch most if not all the churches close their doors. What a glorious thought!! Then those lazy lying preachers will actually have to go out and get a real job.

You'd never know it by listening to the news. Every "good news" blip story makes damned sure the interviewee "thanks god" for whatever happened. And mainstream tv (prime time!) is bowel-blocked with stupid religious crap... God Friended Me and The Good Place come to mind. The media pushes the religious agenda almost as much as the GOP does.

I sincerely hope this article is correct, but it's not what I see day to day.
