Sharon and love to share that love with all!
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another:

By this all people will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.

Christianity in America is declining for a number of reasons, including:
-
Secularization
A gradual decline in adherence to Christianity, with more people observing spiritual concepts without being part of an organized religion
-
Church attendance
The number of Americans who attend religious services at least once a week has decreased, and the number who say they never attend has increased
-
Church reputation
Scandals in the Roman Catholic Church and the Southern Baptist Convention, the spread of White Christian nationalism, and the perception that the church oppresses marginalized groups have all damaged the church’s reputation
-
Disillusionment
Some people feel disillusioned and disheartened by a focus on ritual over relationship, dogma over discipleship, and performance over presence
-
Political polarization
The Republican Party is seen as the party of organized religion, while the Democratic Party is seen as the party of secular America
