This nation was founded by Anglicans, and when the Revolution was successful they formally broke from the national church of England and became Episcopalians. And the sister denominations (Presbyterians, Methodists, Lutherans, Northern Baptists, etc) that are clerically tied to the Episcopalian church in the US are collapsing also, given the Marxist rot that infects the clergy of all these denominations.
So what happens when the most powerful Establishment denominations collapse in this way?
They get replaced by a) coalitions of other denominations, b) ideological systems, c) Apatheists.
Of course the number one ideology that falls into both b) and c) is the ideological poison of Marxism, and I think the popularity of 'Socialism' as a word if not an actual economic system is also rising as a result.
How will this impact the US if a coalition of Catholic traditionalists, Evangelicals, and Pentecostals replace the Mainstream denominations? I think we are already seeing this in the Trump ascendance.
It seems pretty clear that Mainstream Protestants are cold on Trump while the rest of organized Christianity seems to be sliding into supporting him if they did not already do so.
Note that this chart does not cover the pentecostal movement which is lead by the Assemblies of God in numerical terms and accounts for about 10% of the total US population and continues to grow.
But thhe real question here is that the religiously unaffiliated seem to be mostly main stream Protestants that are socially replacing Main Stream Protestants across the nation.
This is a huge social change and I see little discussion or reflective thought regarding it.
