You are speaking about "moral relativism". What's changed? Why the decrease in faith? God does not change.....thus, the change must have come because of the human trait of MORAL RELATIVISM: Each person is endowed by God with Free Will, each person decides his/her own fate by the judgements/decisions made every minute while living.
I simply look at it like this......Why concern oneself with something that is beyond one's personal control.........the decisions made by others? The scriptures are clear. Belief/Faith is an individual endeavor, each person is responsible for their own decision making or as the Apostle stated, "...........work out your own salvation with fear and trembling".
What we are witnessing with such a thread is nothing but a form of "yellow journalism". As Mark Twain once stated, "Figures do not lie..........but LIARS sure do figure." Meaning what? Meaning the demonstrable fact that one can use stats and trend charts to work out any mathematical algorithm they wish in order to make a favorable and biased opinion....depending upon the information provided and or omitted from said algorithm.
I find it a most difficult thing to use the provided information on this thread as an indication of a disbelief in a transcending Creator. Fact: There is a world population that totals about 8 Billion people. Fact: Exactly a decade ago....10 years, 8 in 10 people accepted a religious belief in a Creator/God......according to the Washington Post. In 2012 the world's population totaled 6.9 Billion.....today its 8 Billion Total. God has not changed in that short decade.........that leaves only one logical conclusion.......that extra billion people must have diluted the public opinion poll..........not because God has changed but because man has changed and concentrated more on SELF. The 80% + that believed in God 10 years ago......still exists. Its like pouring water into a whisky to dilute its total alcohol content.......the core remains non effected.
Some stats have 95% of the total earth's population believing in God....with less than 5% remaining that are atheists or agnostic. Lets go with the left wing rags own admission.............about 84% have a belief in God as of 2012. I am simply pointing out how any mathematical algorithm can be used to deceive others.
Consider this algorithm.....which clearly demonstrates that 70% of the US population still believes/has faith in the existence of a Supreme Being. Thus what is really being demonstrated by this thread? Its an attack on the supposed ignorance of anyone who would place their faith in a set of manipulated numbers. God will separate the wheat from the chaff when his longsuffering has come to an end with the human condition.
The belief in a supreme being is not in decline..........propaganda from the less than 5% who refuse to come to the knowledge of truth is in a state of "incline". One does not have to pick up a piece of Bull Crap......smell and taste of it in order to know when he/she has just stepped into a big pile of it.
This statistic shows the results of a global survey on faith in God or a supreme being.
