Good grief. This is the blaring headline in Newsweek:
The End of Christian America
Really? Are non-Christians now 51% of America? Hardly.
According to the American Religious Identification Survey that got Mohler’s attention, the percentage of self-identified Christians has fallen 10 percentage points since 1990, from 86 to 76 percent.
The percentage of Americans who are Christians has dropped, but 76% of Americans are still Christians. It’s a bit premature to be declaring “The end of Christian America.”
