THE PERCENTAGE OF CHRISTIANS IN AMERICA HAS HIT AN ALL-TIME LOW

The decline of the Christian faith in the United States continues to accelerate, and the latest numbers that we just got are absolutely staggering.

Most European countries are already considered to be “post-Christian” nations, and the U.S. appears to be headed down the exact same path. But when America was originally founded, it is estimated that 98 percent of the colonists were Christians. The Christian faith played a critical role in the development of our form of government, and down throughout history every generation of Americans was overwhelmingly Christian. But now things are changing in a major way. According to a brand new survey that was just released by the Pew Research Center, only 65 percent of Americans now consider themselves to be “Christians”, and that represents the lowest level ever recorded…
The religious landscape of the United States continues to change at a rapid clip. In Pew Research Center telephone surveys conducted in 2018 and 2019, 65% of American adults describe themselves as Christians when asked about their religion, down 12 percentage points over the past decade. Meanwhile, the religiously unaffiliated share of the population, consisting of people who describe their religious identity as atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular,” now stands at 26%, up from 17% in 2009.

A number of people are needed to work on Sundays as my family...
you dont work>>> no job

I've normally suggested other activities in faith to compensate for not being able to get to church at 1030 am..

we found a bible study that meets during the week at night when we are off

I wonder if they take that into consideration instead of saying....NO CHURCH >> NO FAITH

I call BS on this article. As my old Salisbury University professor said in my statistics class, there are lies, damned lies and then there are statistics.

If this was the case, Christian movies would not be so much in demand. Which they are and luciferian Hollywood is making more of them. Against their own wishes but to line their own pocketbook

This is GOOD news.

Time to shed the myths of yesterday and move on.

Not necessarily. It all starts with the churches. Sick and tired of all the phony so called Christians. We aren't in church to see your new outfit on the alter. We aren't in church to see your "star search" routine. We aren't in church to give "YOU" praise. I GO TO SEE ONE PERSON. ITS NOT YOUR POMPOUS BEHIND. Stop the singing and dancing. Stop the singing of the Lord's prayer. Stop making it about you. It's about GOD. THE CHRISTIANS ARE HERE. If you want them back?? STOP THE COMPETITION WITH GOD. HE'LL WIN REGARDLESS.

If it was a myth you wouldn’t be so obsessed with tearing it down... you’re a tool of Satan

My life was always just ok. It wasn't great until I put God first. He loves my that much and my family is so grateful for all we have.

Statistically, this may be right. But as another commenter said, the 'churches' are often a turn-off. You can see that many of them are closing as the old members die.

We got weary of the hollywood-style spectacle that so many churches have become. It is more of a feel-good thing in many places... more about drawing a crowd without 'offending' anyone.

There are still many of us who love Jesus and serve Him daily. But our 'worship' is not some Sunday morning pageant.. we worship Him with our lives. By trying our best to obey and serve every day.

We're not too worried about getting an accurate count. God knows who is (and isn't) on His side.

Christianity is a rebuke against Talmudic Judaism.
So the Rabbis set out to destroy Christianity just as the Sadducees had Jesus Christ murdered.
This is the story of the New Testament.

By the way, it was a group of Rabbis who convinced Mohammad to start the farce called Islam.
So Islam is a creation of Talmudic Judaism as well.
Ditto for Communism.

Amen!! The last time I actually entered a church. It looked like a Broadway show. They had a young lady sing "AVA MARIA" beautifully. Then they ALL clapped in the middle of Mass. WTH?? Talk about NO CLASS. That's when I knew my church has been taken over by other people who left their Church to ruin mine. More pretend Christians more worried about what others think of them instead of GOD. The GYPSY Christian.

Christianity isn't just about showing up for church on Sunday morning. Just because you sit in a garage doesn't make you a car.
