"Let's be clear: while the percentage of Christians may be shrinking, rumors of the death of Christianity are greatly exaggerated. Being less Christian does not necessarily mean that America is post-Christian. A third of Americans say they are born again; this figure, along with the decline of politically moderate-to liberal mainline Protestants, led the ARIS authors to note that "these trends … suggest a movement towards more conservative beliefs and particularly to a more 'evangelical' outlook among Christians." With rising numbers of Hispanic immigrants bolstering the Roman Catholic Church in America, and given the popularity of Pentecostalism, a rapidly growing Christian milieu in the United States and globally, there is no doubt that the nation remains vibrantly religious—far more so, for instance, than Europe."
2.4 billion Christians? Yeah, not exactly extinct.....
And shrinking every day. Think about how many old christians die every day. Now think about how few 20 somethings go to church anymore.
I see many churches that were packed in the 70's are abandoned today. We use to have 10 Greek Churches in Metro Detroit. Today it's 5.
I went to this big beautiful church in Detroit. It use to be Catholic back in the 70's and 80's. A beautiful huge church. They moved out and a non denom church uses the building now. Of course they can't afford to put the AC on in the summer.
A dying breed.
