Christians are acknowledging these trends, only they're writing it off as "a sign of the end times". It couldn't have anything to do with the fact that more people are waking up, realizing that the religious leanings of their parents and grandparents are bullocks, and deciding to just be decent people without the crutch of religion. Nope, it's definitely a sign for them to "keep looking up!"

It's a sign of their "end," all right.

I love those Pew polls.

I'm curious to see how much more strident and petulant U.S. Christians will become as their numbers and influence wane.
⇧ This. I suspect the majority will slowly and grudgingly accept their loss of influence but the hardcore will become more extreme. This is also playing out with white males in the US as that portion of the population continues to dwindle

Already the volume of the rhetoric on how xtians are persecuted seems to me to increase every year.
