The grim statistics indicate that in the US, there is something of a mass exodus of people abandoning Christianity, known as “nonverts.” Indeed, according to the Pew Research Center, Christians will be a minority of Americans by 2070 if current trends continue. This is initially shocking to Christian Americans like me, as we mechanically think of America as a Christian country. But, look at Australia. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, in 2021 43.9 percent of the population were Christians and no religion, 38.9 percent. There has been a steady decline in the number of people claiming to be Christians, falling from a high of 96 percent in 1911.
Thus, the trend of secularisation is widespread and deep seated. It is certainly one of the things the Left, inspired by the fierce atheism of communist Marx, has relentless pursued. But, unlike many issues we face, on this one I think that this needs to be left in God’s hand. Certainly, He is not going to see His Church destroyed. And at the end of the day, just looking around at out modern Sodom and Gomorrah: Genesis 19: 1-28, we can expect a Judgment.
