The Death of God in America??

Newsweek (April 13, 2009 issue) has just run a cover story about the decline and fall of Christianity in America. An interesting thing seems to be happening in American religions. According to the American Religious Identification Survey, more and more people seem to be declining any specific religious affiliation in favor of calling oneself spiritual, and the percentage of self-identified Christians fell 10% since 1990. Moreover, it seems that more Americans want to see religion removed from public life. Perhaps religion should really be a private matter, not part of anyone’s political campaign. What do you think, is Christianity declining in America? Is God dying in America?
