 According to this article, "For the first time in its history, the United States does not have a Protestant majority, according to a new study.
One reason: The number of Americans with no religious affiliation is on the rise." It also states, "Still, Pew found overall that most of the unaffiliated aren't actively seeking another religious home, indicating that their ties with organized religion are permanently broken."
 OK, so if you have read my other writings then you know that I am not happy with Christian Religious Organizations or CROs as I like to call them, so people breaking away from organized religion could be a good thing IF they are still seeking God however I am afraid that this survey shows people are falling away from God. Therefore, it would be easy to blame the CROs for this but I don't think that excuse will hold up when we stand face to face with Yeshua (Jesus). I think that we as Christians have to take responsibility. The CROs will have their share of blame for not leading, for sure, but we as individual Christians must take responsibility for letting ourselves be complacent and staying in dead religion. We have been too slack for too long. We have not done our jobs.

Matthew 5:13

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Disciples and the World

¹³ “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how ^[a]can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.

The article says,"The trend also has political implications. American voters who describe themselves as having no religion vote overwhelmingly for Democrats." "More growth in "nones" is expected. One-third of adults under age 30 have no religious affiliation, compared to 9 percent of people 65 and older. Pew researchers wrote that "young adults today are much more likely to be unaffiliated than previous generations were at a similar stage in their lives," and aren't expected to become more religiously active as they age."

  So with more people voting for the Democrats and their ungodly legislation combined with young people falling away this trend is likely to continue unless Christians get off of their... couches and get to work.
