Can't you tell? This forum is just 1 small indicator of the falling away. Jesus' return is near.
Would you atheists stop using buzz words like "logical", "rational", "critical" and the like? Can't you come in from a different angle? Logic is relative.

Quickly go and ask 10 people who you think have a strong faith this question; What did Jesus command us to do? What ever percentage of them answer in accordance with John 13:34-35 is the percentage left who actually have faith in Jesus Christ. Take the first answer that comes out of their mouth and ask all ten without giving away the answer and you will know for sure that the church today is not living by faith in Jesus but faith in religion or faith in Pastor so and so. Your percentage will be less then 20%.
You will hear all kinds of things that sound good and seem right, but very few that are straight out of John 13:34-35.

Yes, many are falling away of the faith during this day and time. Mostly because of fear, doubt and unbelief and in my opinion some people do not have a true foundation of the Creator due to religion, traditions and false doctrine.
Peace,
Hope

Yes. As the time gets closer to the coming of the Lord, the anti-christ behavior increases. And with the deceitfulness comes the unlearned or baby Christian's falling away from the truth of God. Spiritual warfare is where we are today. Read Ephesians 6 in the Bible so all Christians can stay strong. The devil has no power over us except the power that we give him. Stay focused on Christ and remember He that is in us is greater than he that is in the world.

Well more people seem to be losing faith these days.

I believe that religion is falling away and that spirituality is replacing it. I am closer to God now than I have ever been even though I am no longer Christian.

It happens when we become spoiled and full of ourselves. We think we have it all under control and have all of the answers.
Human nature.
Good Luck and God Bless!

That is a personal question...I do not know of any collective faith. My faith is stronger and growing stronger daily.

It depends on which faith you are referring to.
