Zone1 Drop in U.S. Religiosity Among Largest in World

[g5000]

I've been saying for quite a while now that Trump and MAGA Christians are destroying Christianity in America.

MAGA Christians and their unabashed cult hive mind worship of a serial adulterer who bears false witness on a daily basis, barges into underaged girls's dressing rooms, grabs women by the crotch, finger-rapes women in elevators, and who steals from cancer kids and the elderly have caused a huge drop in Americans who attend church and consider themselves religious.

I've been posting this chart below for a while now to show how the percentage of Americans who never attend church (red line) has skyrockted since Trump's first term:

Now there is more hard data about how many Americans have been turning away from religion in the same period:

Drop in U.S. Religiosity Among Largest in World​

The 17-point drop in the percentage of U.S. adults who say religion is an important part of their daily life — from 66% in 2015 to 49% today — ranks among the largest Gallup has recorded in any country over any 10-year period since 2007.


As Alexis de Tocqueville presciently explained two centuries ago about the decline of religion in Europe, those same reasons apply to America today:


The unbelievers of Europe attack the Christians as their political opponents rather than as their religious adversaries; they hate the Christian religion as the opinion of a party much more than as an error of belief; and they reject the clergy less because they are the representatives of the Deity than because they are the allies of government.

In Europe, Christianity has been intimately united to the powers of the earth. Those powers are now in decay, and it is, as it were, buried under their ruins. The living body of religion has been bound down to the dead corpse of superannuated polity; cut but the bonds that restrain it, and it will rise once more. I do not know what could restore the Christian church of Europe to the energy of its earlier days; that power belongs to God alone; but it may be for human policy to leave to faith the full exercise of the strength which it still retains.

Just loony.

And no money was ever stolen from 'cancer kids'. That was never alleged in any case.

There also was no part of the state’s lawsuit that dealt with allegations that the Trump Foundation “stole from a kids cancer charity,” as the posts claim.​

Posts on social media falsely claim that the Trump family is "disallowed from operating ANY charity" in New York because they "stole from a kids cancer charity." That inaccurately describes the outcome of a court case involving the Donald J. Trump Foundation, and conflates it with allegations...

Although a decrease in U.S. religiosity is a positive, unfortunately there’s an increase in the extremism of the Christo-fascist right – unconstitutional ten commandments mandates, anti-privacy rights legislation, measures hostile to transgender Americans, and the rise and threat of Christian nationalism.

All further proof that religion is the bane of humankind.

Democracy in America, Part I. by Alexis de Tocqueville

By 1990, after having been a member in good standing of the Worldwide Church of God began by Pastor General Herbert W. Armstrong, I went through a serious spiritual and intellectual and theological crisis. I saw that we WWCG Members were terribly far off on the full truth of the State of the Dead, so I began to pray and ask for Messiah Yeshua - Jesus to correct me and show me my errors and flaws so that I would not lead people astray as badly as I had been led astray.

From 1990 to 2000 I was shown error after error after error after error in my understanding of essentially big topics, [and I will almost certainly read some information today that will expose some of the errors and silly ideas that I still have after fifty years of being a follower of Messiah Yeshua - Jesus. On the plus side...... being able to admit to error and gaps in understanding is so much better than the place of pride and self-righteousness that I was in back in 1988 and 1990, before I began to be corrected and shown my errors in rapid order!

The drop in a general tendency to be religious is due primarily to the fact that Messianic Gentiles and Christians like myself are in the mentality that was shown to brilliant Christian visionary and author Rick Joyner. He is generally hated for being so honest and blunt about how messed up he was shown that we "Conservative Christians" really are!

[Rick Joyner, The Final Quest] :

" The Evil Army



I saw a demonic army so large that it stretched as far as I could see. It was separated into divisions, with each carrying a different banner. The foremost and most powerful divisions were Pride, Self righteousness, Respectability, Selfish Ambition, and Unrighteous Judgment, but the largest of all was Jealousy. The leader of this vast army was the Accuser of the Brethren himself. I knew that there were many more evil divisions beyond my scope of vision, but these were the vanguard of this terrible horde from hell that was now being released against the church.

The weapons carried by this horde had names on them: the swords were named Intimidation; the spears were named Treachery; and their arrows were named Accusations, Gossip, Slander and Faultfinding. Scouts and smaller companies of demons with such names as Rejection, Bitterness, Impatience, Un-forgiveness and Lust were sent in advance of this army to prepare for the main attack. I knew in my heart that the church had never faced anything like this before.

The main assignment of this army was to cause division. It was sent to attack every level of relationship-churches with each other, congregations with their pastors, husbands and wives, children and parents, and even children with each other. The scouts were sent to locate the openings in churches, families or individuals that rejection, bitterness, lust, etc., could exploit and make a larger breech for the divisions that were coming.

The most shocking part of this vision was that this horde was not riding on horses, but on Christians! Most of them were well-dressed, respectable, and had the appearance of being refined and educated. These were Christians who had opened themselves to the powers of darkness to such a degree that the enemy could use them and they would think that they were being used by God. The Accuser knows that a house divided cannot stand, and this army represented his ultimate attempt to bring such complete division to the church that she would completely fall from grace.

The Prisoners"

The Hordes of Hell Are Marching

On February the 16th, 1995 I was given a dream in which I saw a great army from hell that had been released against the church. Two days later I was given a vision in which I saw this diabolical horde again, but in much greater detail. This is an abbreviated version of the first part of that...

And yet somehow a tiny group of Christian White Nationalists is in complete control of the executive branch. One is Speaker of the House.
