I believe that just 50 years ago, 90% of Americans identified as Christian. Today that is below 50%.
The turn of making "churches" as businesses has turned people away IMO. The business model is now 14 minutes of praise and worship, less than 40 minutes of a sermon, no longer a call to alter, and making sure the coffee bar has expresso. And definitely no talk of the hard stuff, like working for what you want, LGTQLMNOP stuff.
It's all about feeling good, and nothing about being convicted to something greater than "self".
In a world that is now all about self, faith is about less of self and more of Christ and that becomes very difficult for people.
Now is more important than the future.
