You'd never know it. You google "church attendance" and all articles pretty much say it's in decline, that less and less people are identifying as Christian.

"Church attendance" is being redefined. More and more folks are going online for their church services including me.

Interesting... I never knew there was even a debate going about this...

That's aside from what appears to be the trend of America becoming less and less religious, primarily because of millennials...

High_Plains. In many ways, I agree with you. But, I have a different view many aren't talking about. Which is...During the Politically Correct Administration of Obama, and the demands of the Liberals to destroy everything they don't like, or agree with. I believe people will begin to turn around to express their religion again..because they were Silent, and didn't want to be singled out for going against the P.C. demands.
Many Americans quietly use their faith...privately, as to not upset the Liberal Idiots who believe only they are right, and anyone who proclaims a Faith in God...is a wacko to them.
That comes from lack of family, and selfishness that tells liberals...THEY COME FIRST when it comes to being instantly gratified by avoiding rules, and laws they don't like.
Just my opinion. The Millenials have no guides in life. They have been taught to expect everything for free, because they DESERVE IT...the Socialist way.

I guess that's what makes me different from most people. I kind of agree with what you're saying pard, but when that happens, I went online and found me a nice SILVER CROSS to wear. I'm not a super Christian and I don't go around proselytizing to people, but I am a Christian and I will never deny it to anyone, and if being a Christian is something that will trigger a liberal, then WEAR A CROSS I WILL, and just hope some little ass wipe makes a smart ass comment or gets in my face. I'm not a violent man but I'd still enjoy ass kicking a liberal. This Christian doesn't turn the other cheek.

Minus the ass-kicking, lol, you and I really have a lot in common, T.
I proudly wear my cross especially when I know I will be amongst people who don't like Christianity. And here in northern Delaware, that is actually fairly common.
Someday I suppose I may literally lose my head over it, but so far I've only worn it in free countries like USA, Italy, England, Spain and Canada.

There it is right there, on it's cool stainless steel ball chain... I've actually only had people tell me they LIKE it so far...

Maybe this is is just me following AT's glass half full philosophy, but I think given the onslaught of liberalism, atheism, selfishness and crudeness we see today, just a modest decrease in church attendance is kind of amazing.

And I put some of the blame on the main line denoms themselves for losing their way, in a misguided attempt to be "welcoming" to all. They now pretty much stand for nothing. Unless it is PC enough to be unobjectionable.
