Americans becoming less religious, especially young adults: poll
« on: November 04, 2015, 04:10:05 am »
Americans are becoming less religious, judging by such markers as church attendance, prayer and belief in God, and the trend is more pronounced among young adults, according to a poll released on Tuesday.

The share of U.S. adults who say they believe in God, while still high compared with other advanced industrial countries, slipped to 89 percent in 2014 from 92 percent in 2007, according to the Pew Research Center's Religious Landscape Study.

The proportion of Americans who say they are "absolutely certain" God exists fell even more, to 63 percent in 2014 from 71 percent in 2007.

 Romans 1 is slowly sneaking up on us.

People are sick of the hypocrisy... Church leaders never living by the standards they profess to believe in...
No, we can not be perfect, yes we can follow our exemplar Jesus Christ to the best of our ability and become more Christ like in our everyday lives....
Signs of the times.....(2 Timothy 3:13) But wicked men and impostors will advance from bad to worse, misleading and being misled.
(Matthew 24:11-14) . . .And many false prophets will arise and mislead many; and because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off. But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved. And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.
