tl;dr:

<Lukewarm Christianity may be declining much more dramatically than intense religiosity.

"The recent decline of institutional religion is entirely a function of the formerly weakly affiliated ceasing to identify with religious bodies entirely"

<The waning of Christianity may be still as much a baby-boomer story as a millennial one.

"Religious attendance ebbs and then flows across the life cycle, falling when you leave home and then increasing with child rearing and with the encroachment of mortality".

<There’s a strong case that any crisis facing Christian institutions is a more Catholic crisis than a Protestant one.

"But divide American Christianity along Catholic-Protestant lines, rather than into a Mainline-Evangelical-Catholic troika, and you can tell a different story — where evangelicalism gained at the Mainline churches’ expense, keeping the broader Protestant position constant, while Catholicism was saved from a Mainline-style decline only by Hispanic immigration."

Your thoughts?

Something I knew (that it's mainly a problem among Catholics and Mainliners). But I would warn Evangelicals: They have a bad habit of adopting the world's ways and forms of presentation, even when not totally succumbing to the more serious forms of apostasy. Such as advertising/promotional strategies, worship styles, and the like. At best, it's just tacky. At worst, the more immature ones readily jump on new trends that they inadvertently adopt and play by the same linguistic leftist games that mainliners did (such as adopting forms of feminism or looking at the scriptures in increasingly modernistic light). Some want to be relevant to the world so badly, when what they should do is escape it (something the best of the Orthodox and Catholic know very well at least). I understand some of it comes from a sincere desire to communicate and for mission, but they should seek more for the transcendent and timeless and what gives God glory.

I highly doubt America was Christian to begin with

That's called the "seeker sensitive movement". We're hyper aware of the problem.

I have heard this debate go both ways. But from what I understand the founding fathers intended it to be based upon Christianity without one denomination being the state enforced denomination. The US was never envisioned to be a completely secular state, even less the multicultural/religion/spirituality state it is now. At one time those of differing religions were expected to assimilate in the US and be exposed to Christianity. That was one aim at least, and it failed with progressivism.

We've had adultery and blasphemy laws up until fedoras destroyed them. America was a Christian people until it wasn't. I will say that most Yankees were godless and merely virtue signallers. See Puritans and Abolitionists.

The South has remained Christian and will likely form a Christian state when this Babylonian empire clone collapses.

It is supposed to be a constitutional representative republic where the same rights that were guaranteed for generations historically were continued to be upheld, that's why you see the English Common Law being imported as there is a continuity there.

The main reason this pattern broke off was due to the immigration of the synagogue of satan combined with the spread of mass media technologies which allowed them to unscrupulously take over the thought processes of millions of sometimes impressionable people with a single broadcasting station using techniques of persuasive design in order to create mental associations in the mob that they think are advantageous to their clan/caste of talmud followers. In addition to this, these same talmud followers have, according to the Frankfurt school of philosophy, made a slow march through the institutions (i.e. cultural marxism), aided for a long time by Soviet "active measures" funding, in order to support legislation that denies the historically protected rights of Americans that have been upheld until the 1960s, through things like the "march on Washington," helped with funds and free media promotion and prominence from their fellow travelers via clandestine international slush funds, and devised by longtime kabbalist-talmudists like Stanley Levison, Herbert Marcuse, Saul Alinsky, Frank Kameny, various corrupt and nepotistic bankers, hollywood producers, media CEOs, media moghuls and others of that ilk who style themselves the "elite."

>The US was never envisioned to be a completely secular state

There is no such thing as a neutral set of values. People have always understood this. The so-called "secular values" being enforced is none other than talmudic humanistic kabbalism. They got their people into the courts to legislate from the bench and deny our historic rights and saddle us with this talmudic baggage that was cleverly disguised and packaged as being completely "secular" and "neutral." It's Judeo-secular. There is currently a Judeo-supremacist dominance in the national environment here, and it is disguised by the media as being a religiously neutral "secular" progressive movement. It is actually benefitting Judaism above the rest of us and is unconstitutional as it is respecting an establishment of religion. See Public Law 102-14. They've been working on this for a long time. The associated press and reuters is basically controlled by them, if they don't want something to be news it won't be. They're nepotistic, corrupt and self-serving. Many more people are starting to wake up now that it's become so open and obvious.

One of our fundamental protections is that sodomites were removed from society as felons rather than preying on defenseless children in public schools. That's one of the rights they've removed since their religion allows sodomy according to the Talmud. They are enforcing their religious beliefs under a pseudo-legalist cloak of secularism. They've tried very hard also to take away first amendment rights by devising something called "hate speech" where their media moghuls define what "hate" is (protip: anything that goes against their Judaistic agenda will be called hate).

The one thing they can't do is take away the word of God. That's where the final battle lies. They've banished it from their television shows and films but they can't actively take it out of my hands.

Ah, so that's what it is? I've seen the phrase tossed around, but didn't give it much thought.
