Why is religion declining in the US and elsewhere?
From NPR: "Religiously unaffiliated people now make up 28% of U.S. adults, according to a new study from Pew Research. That's a larger cohort than Catholics or evangelical Protestants."

Post #12Since "religiously unaffiliated" isn't synonymous with "nonreligious", perhaps a better question would be, "Why is organized religion declining?"

I doubt many will agree with my answer. It is because Satan's new kingdom is doing well, which is the West, namely the media. He had his Roman empire and slaughtered us, then he had the Ottoman Empire and slaughtered us. Now he has influence over the West. Conditioning is very powerful.
