First, I agree that the concept of consolidated public education is merely a front for State Indoctrination. Public schools are only valid so long as the school reflects the moral values of the community. The moment, the state or the federal government add their greasy touch, we have indoctrination not education.
Second, The embrace that our Churches have shown for the progressive movement has turned into a kiss of death for many.
Finally, these declining numbers may not reflect a rejection of Christianity, but a failure to teach Christian Principals in the home.
Many have and will find their way to Christian belief, but I am unsure that it will be brought to them by the currently organized churches as many seem to have become like government, institutions onto their own aggrandizement.
Ironic too, isn’t it? that churches turned to Worship Teams, bands, and Praise songs while abandoning convictive preaching. The result was to drive away elderly people to cater to the young. It sounds as though that didn’t work.

Please think about this.
Why should Christians be forced to support government schools that are Muslim, atheist, or Mormon in their worldview simply because they are the Christian minority in their town or county? Hm?
Fundamentally, government schooling is socialist schooling and always has been. It has never been religiously neutral because a religiously neutral education is impossible. A voting mob of neighbors should never be in the position to **force** others support government schooling that is a socialist-entitlement and never was, or can be, religiously neutral.
