The "Revival" of Christianity is a Hoax

The demographics of Christianity have been covered here and other places many times. Yet, these demographics are ignored in the Christian press. The new Christian narrative is the rate of those leaving, or never entering, the faith has slowed and young men are returning to the faith. This is a false narrative. The truth is the average age of Christians is rising, the percentage of young people leaving the faith is also rising. These mean the faith is falling and this will continue.

This inevitability is not necessarily denied in the Christian press. It is just ignored. I suppose it is not in the economic interests of most people making a living in the Christian enterprise to talk about it. Better to pretend things are OK and keep the donations flowing. We see this strategy in the anti abortion industry. Abortion numbers keep rising but anti abortion groups keep claiming they are succeeding. "Follow the money" is a wise saying that applies to Christianity. 

There are, of course, many successful churches across the country. Urban areas that are growing also include growing numbers of believers. Even though the nationwide numbers are falling, these pockets of success create an illusion of growth. 

Most of us are indifferent, I would think, on whether Christianity is growing or declining. If it stayed in its own lane we would neither know nor care about its success or failure. But it constantly spills over into areas where it should not be. Today, some official demanded all Muslims be deported. 

The Christian faith is so mismanaged and so filled with whackos its decline seems inevitable.
