(June 11, 2015 at 12:54 pm)Faith No More Wrote: I notice you didn't break down the statistics by region, Steve. Didn't want anyone to see that religion is growing mostly in backwater, uneducated places like Africa but on the decline in the first world?

I commend Christian charities that provide some relief for the destitute, but I question the sincerity of the conversion. The cargo cult comes to mind. If I were starving I would have no problem listening to testimony and feigning belief for the promise of a sandwich and bottle of water.
