Comments on: Christian America in Decline http://envisionmore.net/between_the_lines/?p=39 Envisioning More Between The Lines Mon, 21 Jun 2010 05:39:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Jin Woo Chung http://envisionmore.net/between_the_lines/?p=39&cpage=1#comment-12 Jin Woo Chung Sat, 11 Apr 2009 21:35:20 +0000 http://envisionmore.net/between_the_lines/?p=39#comment-12 I think Jon Meacham, a liberal Episcopalian, was talking more about a "certain brand" of Christianity dying than Christianity as a whole being extinguished. What Jon is talking about is the influence of conservative, right wing Christianity is on the decline in America, but as for "vague, spirtual Christianity that loves Christ but not Christians" is still going strong. Religiously unidentified is good, but being religiously identified...not so good. Zeyad, people are still religious, just not in a clear cut, doctrinal way. All in all, it's very post modern, lol.

Many Americans, including those that live in the heartland, would disagree because they are the evangelical hubs of America. I’m not sold on the whole, “America is losing its religion schpeil”

I would hardly call 15% of the country not identifying with a religion "The End of Christian America." So what? In twenty years, the number of Christians declined 7%. Big deal. The author seems all too anxious to signal the end of Christianity. Really makes me question his motives. To answer your question: no.
