1. On the one hand, as a person of religion, I'm disappointed.
2. But...I've seen your posts, and don't be so pleased about this information.
Do you understand the political perspective of mainline Protestants?
3. In 1907, a group of Methodists formed the Methodist Federation for Social Service (MFSS). The aim was to influence other Protestant groups. The next day, the group is received by President Theodore Roosevelt in the White House. One of the leaders, Harry F. Ward drafts a Social Creed that will be adopted by the 1908 General Conference and by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America.

4. In the early Twenties the Communist Party made considerable gains in its program to infiltrate the churches. This effort was led by such prominent "American" clergymen as Harry F. Ward ( "one of the leading collaborators of, and apologists for, the Soviet Union." ...), Jerome Davis, William B. Spofford, and Albert Rhys Williams. at the 1942 convention of the Federal Council of Churches called for: Ultimately, "a world government of delegated powers." Complete abandonment of U.S. isolationism. Strong immediate limitations on national sovereignty. International control of all armies and navies. A universal system of money.... Worldwide freedom of immigration. Progressive elimination of all tariff and quota restrictions on world trade .... A "democratically controlled" international bank ....

You're down with that, aren't you?
And this:
5. The Social Gospel enthusiasts switched the aim from labor rights to attacks on the “profit motive,” …capitalism.
a. “The church, therefore, in the opinion of the federation, must accept
the Marxist point of view…The federation, therefore, wants the religious leaders to preach a religious creed, not based upon the Bible and in defense of the American way of life, but one that is based upon the atheistic foundations of the philosophy of Marx. The federation wants the ministers to declare their judgment against the social economic system under which Americans live and prosper today in favor of the Socialist system, which in Russia and the satellite countries has brought the peoples.” Read the ebook Investigation of Communist activities in the New York City area. Hearings (Volume pt. 5-6, pp. 1969-2143) by United States. Congress. House. Committee on Un-Am
6. The percentage of Americans who attend and belong to a church has remained constant for over 70 years. But predominantly liberal mainline Protestant denominations have lost members for over 50 years. “From 1960 to 1988, mainline church membership declined from 31 million to 25 million, then fell to 21 million in 2005.[6][7] Today, they are a minority among American Protestants, claiming approximately 15 percent of American adults among their adherents.[8]” Mainline Protestant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You should be more careful what you wish for.
I won't be pleased until all ancient god worship is put aside for science. Walking on water, resurrection, witches, flat earth, the hereafter, etc. is the biggest load of shit ever promulgated onto mankind in the history of the world. Nobody lives it anyway.
Your hatred of religion, and vis a vis religous people is sad. What a pathetic person you are.
I don't give a damn how I appear to somebody who is either hopelessly brainwashed or naive. The fairy tale's days are limited like it or not.
All of the religions in one way or another were originated by ignorant primitives who fell for magic acts and/or believed in ghosts and witches. I might add that they couldn't accept their mortality. We're all gonna die and not the first one is coming back. Go ahead and mention that to your next country preachin'.
