This is so true. I had a friend who thought for years that she was truly born again. But after maybe ten years or so she realized she was not and was truly converted. She was more caught up in the 'social aspect' of Church than being caught up in Christ. Sad that there may be many more like my friend was attending churches, even sound ones. Lord, open their eyes to the truth.

1. There is no such thing as an atheist. According to God, He calls them something else:

"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good." Proverbs 14:1b

2. Only a fool would declare universally that there is no god – while forgetting that they would have to possess universal understanding themselves in order to make that determination! So, a fool actually believes they themselves are gods and then, join with other fools who already believe the same foolishness. What do they call themselves? "American Atheists."

Be encouraged. The day of our salvation and His appearing draws closer by the day – since the day we first believed!

Actually, your statement is correct! "Christianity" as a religion practice per se, is indeed on the decline. I am thankful too. Why? Because, being a "Christian" is much different than practicing a religious form of Christianity.

There are two statements in God's Word where He addresses this issue. Here they are:

1. "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." II Timothy 3:1-5 (Anyone who deny's the the Son of God, Jesus Christ, as God – falls into this category)

2. "If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." James 1:26-27 (All who use religious practice – call it any denominational movement you want – apart from true worship, fall into this category.)

“We are seeing Christianity on such a dramatic decline that we’re not particularly worried about it. We’re thinking that this kind of old-style George W. Bush Republicanism is about to go away,” Silverman said, referring to the latest Pew Forum survey of American religious life, which showed nonreligious Americans as the fastest-growing group

On June 7, 1797, John Adams signed into law the Treaty of Tripoli. This was the first Treaty for the USA and it was read and ratified unanimously by the founding Senate. The treaty states, in part, that “the government of the United States is not in any sense founded in the Christian Religion”.

Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

American Atheists is now an official member of the Secular Coalition for America!
