A lot of people say this, but all the people who left were the weak ones, the church is arguably stronger than it has even been before now because only the true believers are left.


50-70 year old boomers

GenX is your last hope for donations.

I agree. Millenials don't seem to be coming back.

Maybe Z will become more open to the faith as they get older. If not, it'll just become a strong insular minority like Hasidic Judaism.

Have you seen GenZ
Or had a conversation with enough of them to form a sample size of who they are?

Public school system is communist and anti-christian. Democrats set this up on purpose with things like the Johnson amendment.



Atheists don't have kids and go extinct. Its cute but it never works. Wasn't the first time that egotistical people have tried, probably wont be the last either.


Having spirituality without religion ≠ atheism.

Religious people skew to the right. Liberals want to destroy the right. So they seek to destroy right wing institutions like marriage and the family. Liberals took control of the media and naturally wield it as a weapon to portray marriage and family in negative ways and stereotypes to dissuade people from embracing them.

Because religion is mainly used as a tool of political suppression, justification for war, justification for hatred, justification for environmental destruction, and justification for imperialism.

Anyone who grew up around American Christians know that they are the most hateful assholes in the country.

It’s 2021 almost 2022

Obviously organized religious followings will naturally continue to get smaller as time goes on. We don’t live in the dark ages anymore brew.

It breaks down a basic dichotomy in my opinion -- authority versus anti-authority. This manifests itself in many observable ways, in the family, the State, workplace, etc., etc., but in many ways the Western God has a very paternal role and just like blondes go out and get tramp stamps to spite their father people rebel against religion as an extension of that conflict.

I never know where to place myself on that scale but as someone who grew up anti religion I can't help but notice psychological parallels all over the place.
