I am not sure a declining church attendance equals anything but a declining church income.
And that, folks, is the best answer yet.
This might be a good place to differentiate between being a believer in Christ and attending a church regularly. Doing one does not necessarily mean doing the other.
Personally, I see "organized religion" as a negative. Just as America was given "a republic, if you can keep it" we were given the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Constitution and the New Testament can both be read as they are in their originality, but it seems that mankind will always corrupt and pervert anything it ever touches. I blame the decline of organized religion on organized religion and those who choose to capitalize upon it. And this is the very reason that NONE can ever be good enough on their own merit to be in the presence of God. The path is narrow and we've all heard his name.
Don't be the darkness.
America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.
