The Barely-Beating Heart Of Christendom (Rod Dreher) from the American Conservative
"The report’s findings aren’t surprising, exactly, but they are shocking. They confirm that Europe’s is a post-Christian civilization, and they make clear the stark challenges facing the churches there going forward. For American Christian readers, the report may serve as a portrait of our own civilization in the future, if we don’t take strong measures now to prevent that fate."
Dreher, a sane voice of Christian conservatism, may be whistling past the graveyard here. I have long felt that evangelical Christians pulled their faith into the gutter when they (a) became so politically tied to the GOP back in Reagan's time; and (b) when, more recently, they have merged evangelicalism with white nationalism. It is now commonplace for them to take positions completely antithetical to the core principles of their faith and to embrace policies that not only alienate moderates and most young people -- but they come off as just ... NUTTY! See the last post from today's nuggets. Nuggetsman
