The Waning Days of Christianity?

A few months ago, we noted the Pew Research Center Report on September 13, 2022, "Modeling the Future of Religion in America," gave data that suggested between 2045 and 2070, Christianity would be a minority religion in the US. It isn't really surprising, given the lack of sound teaching and discipleship as demonstrated in the 2022 State of Theology. In "Findings & Footnotes" review of Nonverts: The Making of Ex-Christian America:

All this leads to [Author Stephen] Bullivant’s sober concluding thoughts about how the decline of Christianity (institutionally and socially) in American society increases the number of nonverts (at least in the short term, since their children will just be nones), leading to further de-Christianization. For these reasons, Bullivant argues that the nonverts and nones are here to stay for the foreseeable future, with studies suggesting that nonreligious retention is strengthening while religious retention is weakening. 

I am not sure this is a bad thing. Perhaps churches will wake up to the need to diligently teach and disciple their people, including their young children and teens. If they do not have a solid foundation in the word of God, a living relationship with the living God, and a tie to the local gathering of the body of Christ, they will opt for something they believe gives meaning to life.
