Mocking it doesn't change the truth. I bet you thought that was clever, though.

RE: christianity decline from a christian perspective
Let's be honest to the fact that people well theists a good majority anyways
are biblically illiterate and well call the bible perfect... Even if they took time and read it
they would understand why their religion is in the decline because... the bible
is a self contradictory and error filled book with horrible morals and good ones but
again it's not based in reality and it is as true as harry potter which it is not.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.

It is part of the religious totalitarian world view to see any challenge to their supremacy through the eyes of victimhood. Perhaps Christians move horizontally from church to church. Churches then report declines and then start revivals. The days are gone when congregations stay in one church for generations. I am suspicious of claims by xtians there numbers are in decline, they are under attack, or warring on Christmas exists.

As you should be. Christianity is strong with the victim narrative. But I think we can trust the Pew Research Center's Religious Landscape Survey or Trinity College's the American Religious Identification Survey.  Even the Evangelical polling firm The Barna Group have solid methodology.
