Ihmiset hylkää kristinuskon jopa USA raamattuvyöhy

Kristinusko on alkanut menettämään asemiaan jopa Yhdysvaltojen raamattuvyöhykkeellä.

"In the place we call the Bible Belt..."

"At least 97 Protestant churches across South Carolina have closed since 2011, according to data from the Lutheran, Presbyterian, United Methodist and Southern Baptist denominations. An untold number of other closings, certainly, are not captured by these statistics.

Many churches are dying slow deaths, stuck in stagnation if not decline. And if they don’t do something, anything, in their near future, they’ll share the fate of Cedar Creek United Methodist, a 274-year-old Richland County congregation that dissolved last year; Resurrection Lutheran, a church near downtown Columbia that will hold its last service on Sept. 2; and the dozens of churches that sit shuttered and empty around the state."

"The South is slowly catching up to national and European trends shifting toward what many call a “post-Christian” culture — that is, a society with characteristics no longer dominantly rooted in Christianity."

Post-kristillinen aika häämöttää jo nurkantakana.
