Several years ago, a PEW survey reported a decline in the number of those in the USA who consider themselves to be Roman Catholic<\/a> or Protestant<\/a>:<\/p>\n

May 12, 2015<\/p>\n

A major new survey of religious life in the United States reveals a growing shift between the numbers of declared Christians and those who choose not to belong to any organized religion.<\/p>\n

In its report, “America’s Changing Religious Landscape<\/a>” <\/a> the Pew Research Center says the U.S. is still the most dominant Christian nation in the world, with just over 70 percent of adults, or 173 million Americans, identifying themselves as followers of Jesus Christ. That figure, however, has dropped dramatically since 2007, when just over 78 percent of adults, or 178 million Americans, called themselves Christians. During the same period, the number of people who declared themselves as either atheist, agnostic (someone who is unsure or unconcerned about the existence of God) or of no particular faith rose from 16 percent to nearly 23 percent.<\/p>\n

The number of Americans unaffiliated with any religious faith – a group that researchers have dubbed “nones” – is widespread across age, race, gender and income level, but is especially pronounced among young adults.<\/p>\n

Among particular Christian faiths, Roman Catholicism has suffered the most losses among its ranks, dropping from 54 million members in 2007 to 51 million last year, while the number of mainline, or liberal, Protestants fell from 51 percent to around 46 percent during that time period.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the survey found growing diversity within the U.S. religious population, with non-Christian faiths rising from nearly 5 percent in 2007 to nearly 6 percent in 2014, especially among Muslims and Hindus, although their overall numbers remain small. http:\/\/www.voanews.com\/content\/survey-finds-shift-in-number-of-non-religious-americans\/2764252.html<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The amount of people vehemently opposed to biblical morality has also increased, which is why I included the particular photo seen at the beginning of this post.<\/p>\n

What about religion in America in 2019?<\/p>\n

\n

Is America becoming Godless? The number of people who have no religion has risen 266 per cent – one third of the population – in three decades<\/h2>\n

Updated April 6, 2019<\/p>\n

The number of Americans who identify as having no religion has risen 266 percent since 1991, to now tie statistically with the number of Catholics and Evangelicals, according to a new survey.<\/p>\n

People with no religion \u2013 known as ‘nones’ among statisticians \u2013 account for 23.1 percent of the U.S. population, while Catholics make up 23 percent and Evangelicals account for 22.5 percent, according to the General Social Survey<\/a>. …<\/p>\n

As the ‘nones’ have ascended, the number of mainline Protestant Christians has fallen 62.5 percent since 1982, to now account for just 10.8 percent of the U.S. population, according to the survey.<\/p>\n

The number of Catholics has gone up and down over the decades, cumulatively decreasing more than 4 percentage points from 27.3 percent in 1972. https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-6886705\/Is-America-Godless-number-people-no-religion-rose-266-three-decades.html<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Despite that, the population of the USA is still one of the largest in terms of being Protestant\/Catholic. Yet, those who claim those faiths are more and more accepting behaviors that the Bible condemns, and that is not good (cf. Romans 1:18-32).<\/p>\n

Notice also something gleaned from another survey:<\/p>\n

A new Pew Research Center survey focused on what Americans think the United States will be like in 2050 finds that majorities of Americans foresee a country with a burgeoning national debt, a wider gap between the rich and the poor and a workforce threatened by automation.<\/p>\n

Majorities predict that the economy will be weaker, health care will be less affordable, the condition of the environment will be worse and older Americans will have a harder time making ends meet than they do now. Also predicted: a terrorist attack as bad as or worse than 9\/11 sometime over the next 30 years.<\/p>\n

These grim predictions mirror, in part, the public\u2019s sour mood about the current state<\/a> of the country. The share of Americans who are dissatisfied with the way things are going in the country \u2013 seven-in-ten in January of 2019 \u2013 is higher now than at any time in the past year. https:\/\/www.pewsocialtrends.org\/2019\/03\/21\/public-sees-an-america-in-decline-on-many-fronts\/<\/a><\/p>\n

According to a brand new survey that was just conducted by the Pew Research Center<\/a>, 77 percent of all Americans are either \u201cvery worried\u201d or \u201cfairly worried\u201d about America\u2019s moral health.\u00a0 …<\/p>\n

The following are 40 facts that prove that America\u2019s moral collapse is spinning wildly out of control\u2026<\/p>\n

#1<\/strong> America has killed more than 60 million children<\/a> since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973.\u00a0 The federal government endorses this activity by heavily funding the country\u2019s leading abortion provider, and after that abortion provider harvests the organs of the dead children, the federal government also heavily funds<\/a> the research that is conducted on those harvested organs.<\/p>\n

#2<\/strong> According to a Quinnipiac University poll from last year, 63 percent<\/a> of all Americans want to keep Roe v. Wade in place.<\/p>\n

#3<\/strong> America is a global leader in sexual depravity.\u00a0 If you doubt this, just check out what is going on in Cleveland<\/a> at the end of this month.<\/p>\n

#4<\/strong> Americans are now more likely to die from an opioid overdose<\/a> than they are from a car accident.<\/p>\n

#5<\/strong> In the city of Baltimore, approximately one out of every four babies<\/a> is born as an opioid addict.<\/p>\n

#6<\/strong> Overdosing on drugs has now become the leading cause of death<\/a> for Americans under the age of 50.<\/p>\n

#7<\/strong> McDonalds feeds approximately 70 million people a day globally. Pornhub gets more than 78 million visits<\/a> a day.<\/p>\n

#8<\/strong> The teen birth rate in the United States is higher \u201cthan in any other industrialized country in the world\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

#9<\/strong> According to the CDC<\/a>, approximately 110 million Americans have a sexually-transmitted disease right now.<\/p>\n

#10<\/strong> The CDC also tells us that there are approximately 20 million new sexually transmitted disease cases<\/a> in the U.S. every single year. http:\/\/theeconomiccollapseblog.com\/archives\/40-facts-that-prove-that-americas-moral-collapse-is-spinning-wildly-out-of-control<\/a>\u00a0retrieved 04\/07\/19<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I only retrieved the top ten of the above list of forty, but the rest are at the link above.<\/p>\n

As Americans become less God-fearing, they discount more and more the moral teachings of the Bible. This is leading to more societal problems.<\/p>\n

The USA needs national repentance.<\/p>\n

And, no, I do not expect it before the coming destruction of the USA.<\/p>\n

Those who are pessimistic about the future of the USA are right, but few of them realize that by 2050, the USA will be conquered and its lands divided per Daniel 11:39 (for details, check out the articles\u00a0USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses<\/a><\/span> and Who is the King of the West?<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Europe will, for a time, be the dominant power in the world per Revelation 13,17, and 18 (see also ).<\/p>\n

Although Europe<\/a> is often considered to be irreligious, the time will come when the less Protestant\/Catholic Europeans will embrace a revised faith that will call itself ‘Catholic.’ Both the Bible and Catholic writings agree on that. Some various Catholic writings point out some of the dangers of the ecumenical movement and see the dangers in a faith that will claim to be Catholic in the future (see also Why Should American Catholics Fear Unity with the Orthodox?<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Even though the ecumenical movement will succeed in Europe and elsewhere (cf. Revelation 13:4,8), it will not meet with as much success in the USA.<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump is not able to stop the moral decline in the USA.<\/p>\n

National repentance is the only hope that the USA has at this time and the trends, including what the PEW reports indicate, suggest that this is not going to happen. Moral decline, including hypocrisy, will accelerate destruction of the USA (cf. Isaiah 10:5-11; Romans 1:18-32).<\/p>\n
