Involvement in politics seems to help the decline in religion

"Traditionally, we thought religion was the mover and politics were the consequence," he said. Today, it's the opposite.

Many of today's formerly faithful left conservative evangelical or Catholic denominations because "they saw them align with a conservative political agenda and they don't want to be identified with that," Hout said

Christianity still dominates American religious identity (70%), but the survey shows dramatic shifts as more people move out the doors of denominations, shedding spiritual connections along the way.

Atheists and agnostics have nearly doubled their share of the religious marketplace, and overall indifference to religion of any sort is rising as well. Only the historically black Protestant churches have held a steady grip through the years of change.

Wow,

" "Traditionally, we thought religion was the mover and politics were the consequence," he said. Today, it's the opposite.

The very prostitution that BTG committed is driving her members away.

Here is what I find interesting in this statement:

If the governments are aware that people are leaving religions because the religions are supporting their own agenda... Then one can determined by the number of people leaving the religions just how hated their agenda is.

So now it's negative publicity. And of course anything preventing their agenda from coming to pass must be removed.
