People in the U.S. and Canada are going to need religious understanding and tolerance in the future. These two countries are the most religiously diverse countries in the world -- and are becoming increasingly diverse. If current trends reported by the American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS) continue:
bulletThe percentage of adults in both countries who identify themselves as Christian will continue to drop by about 0.8 percentage points per year.
bulletSome commentators predicted that adults in the Protestant denominations of Christianity probably became a minority sometime during 2006
bulletChristians will become a minority in in Canada about 2023 and in the U.S. about the year 2042.

The only Christian you need to concern yourself with is you. If you are not, I can help you there.
God takes care of His own. You have read I'm sure that many are called but few are chosen.
You bet, there is an apostasy happening now as foretold in the Scriptures. Maybe you are one of the chosen.><>

What is failing are the so called Christian Churches who have become moderate and have moved away from the true Gospel because of pressures from gays, women, and societal pressures.
What is increasing are the fundamentalist Christian Churches who refuse to reject God's Word and water down the Gospel Message.
I think you will see this trend continuing until the Lord comes back.

Sad, but true. It's all up to the parents. They can either teach Christianity to their kids or just let them be taught whatever the government wants them to know in the public schools. Remember: kids are impressionable. The NEA knows that and is using it to the advantage of their communist goals.

And your point is? We are well aware that we are entering "Godless" times. That there will be few who will believe and follow. Those of us who do believe will persevere."Thou art Peter and on this rock wilt I build My Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it."
Peace Be With You,
Debra

Just shows how stupid people are getting these days. Like it says in the Word, many there are that will be lost but few that are saved.

Christianity will actually see a revival as evangelical factions gain strength, as they have been in the last decade.
Your statistics are misleading.

Long live humanity.
Death to religion.
Death to religious fanatics.

That's because people seem to enjoy embracing worldly values made by man instead of Godly values made by God.
