Future of Christianity in US

[robvalue]

As far as I'm concerned, it has a lot to do with how your mind works. If you have a sceptical mind, and choose to apply it consistently, you'll be an atheist. If you don't apply it to religion, or don't have a sceptical mind, it's much more likely you'll be a theist. But not necessarily.

Of course, indoctrination causes a lot of damage which is carried into adulthood. This can cause an otherwise sceptical mind to overlook all the problems with theistic claims because it has been conditioned to accept them without question.

And of course, your ability to reach valid conclusions is also based on what you know, hence education.

I know some people will howl at this and say they are sceptic theists, but you're not, sorry. You aren't using the same standards you claim to apply to everything else, since not one good argument has turned up ever. If you have the magic bullet, and not the normal apologist bullshit, then bring it on.
