I guess the "researchers" never heard of Sharia Law.

Barth is still wreaking havoc today.

fools, one religion will always replace another and the number of non believers will remain fairly constant.

Science has a lot less to do with declining religion than being a nation of relative wealth and personal security. Human nature tends to credit their own talent and ingenuity for their success instead of God. Hence, they no longer need Him. Conversely, they will quickly blame God for their troubles and failures. The phenomenon is described quite well in the Bible. As the book of Ecclesiastes states,”there is nothing new under the sun”, and the basics of human nature do not change.

The researchers must remember that Christianity was crucified in Europe:
1. Religion was put down in communist countries as churches were razed, clergy slaughtered and meeting forbidden.After all, religion was the opiate of the masses.
2. In Nazi Germany and occupied countries, religion was (officially)discouraged and Christians were suspected of anti-Hitler activity.

When freedom was proclaimed in Western Europe in 1945, and after the fall of the Soviet empire later, Christianity was insignificant as a belief system throughout Europe. But as it always does, the seed did grow and spread. Sure the numbers are wanting, but still strong. Remember, history reveals Christianity has it greatest spurts in growth during times of persecution

At the same time, the state will rise to combat the increased crime and general selfishness that will prevail in terms of charity and community spirit.

Of course, that’s a religion in itself (marxism) but who’s noticed except those goody goody Christians?

I can point to personal history and show that dad dropping bombs on fascist heads destroyed them. We can do that again.

Then we send in the 1st Marine Div., the 101st Airborne and 3rd Army to root out the survivors. Then another bombing run to bounce around the pieces.

But I’m sure these leftist cowards would find the idea of bearing arms and meeting on a batlefield “icky.” It’s why they need “useful idiots.”

Keep spouting BS, yellow dogs. Your days are numbered and your places in hell are reserved.

The only demise happening is yours. But...if you want to meet on hillside at sunrise with swords for a duel, let me know, worm.

Could it be that the “researchers” promote and advocate sharia law?
