Religion Comes in Many Forms

Studies show that church attendance is declining. Most headlines say, “Americans Are Becoming Less Religious,” but that’s not precisely true. Instead, Americans are increasingly redirecting their religious zeal and ardor elsewhere: For some its sports, which is relatively harmless to everyone except themselves. For many others, their religious faith and zeal is redirected to political or cultural causes. If you pay attention to how much people on your SM feed preach to you with religious zeal and certainty about any number of secular topics this becomes obvious. The consequences of this phenomenon in the West are not beneficial.
