Young men's religious revival is a myth

13. The Pew research would disagree ....they have more robust data

Just went through a study of the Pew Research on religious trends as part of a lay leadership group for a mainline denomination. There was no such rosy pictue.

We came to the conclusion that if mainline (NOT CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST) denominations want to thrive and do meaningful work they need to be the church that they say they are.

Feed the hungry, take care of the sick, do justice (in the sense that everyone has enough), love mercy, walk humbly, care for the widow and orphan.

Love your God (whatever it looks like to you) and love your neighbor.

Live by whatever version of the golden rule that your religion uses (don't do bad stuff to people that you wouldn't want done to you; treat others as you would like to be treated, etc.)

But there is a group that hears the heresies of subjugating women and the prosperity gospel. They are aren't really religious but let's be honest -- evangelical Christianity in the US is a political party and not a moral or religious entity.
