The conservative/fundamentalist takeover 30 years ago was supposed to turn the trend around; it didn’t make a bit of difference.

A matter of fact it lead to the past seven years during which the evangelicals tied their future to the radical imperialistic BushCo regime. That’s one helluva albatross to have about your neck.

Are the rest just becoming moderate christians (the ones who don't actually care about religion)?<br /> Or are they converting to a different fairytale?<br /> <br /> Also, what are we going to do with all the churches in 2030? Because thats a LOT of buildings, and most are not that nice. I know the number of atheists is growing, but I don’t think that we are the only group taking their numbers.
