Contrary to popular opinion, religiosity is not on the decline in the United States but enjoys “persistent and exceptional intensity,” according to groundbreaking new research.

A report last month by scholars from Harvard and Indiana Universities suggests that the secularization taking place in many advanced industrialized societies does not in fact hold for American culture, and that religiosity in the United States is growing ever more exceptional in comparison with the rest of the world.

I proudly attend the Uprising in Hebron and this is an example of a church that has an intense belief system. The Gospel is preached there, Bill Cropper is an example of a sinner saved by the grace of Jesus. Friday night Thrive is a blessing in my life. We all to thank God that our Mayor Jake Day attends there. If Jim Ireton, who spits in God's face with his homosexuality had gone to a church like that maybe Salisbury
would not be in as bad as shape as it is now.
Right. Remember this article the next time someone starts claiming that Christians are somehow and in any way being persecuted for anything in America.
