I agree that the catholic church and many protestant churches became arrogant and domineering in the US. Much of this can be attributed to their majority status in the population. If there is any good that comes from the decline of the christian churches in America, it will be a change in their outlook in this regard. It's my hope and prayer that the church could return to the model of the earliest christian churches, in which people were attracted to them because they saw the love they reflected in their daily lives. They lived the christian life and grew like crazy with no threats or coercion.
