These are leftist lies published by the lamestream media to discourage Conservative Christians. I have proof positive that both Christianity and Conservatism are flourishing. The father of the family across the street is a liberal from Nashua, NH who moved here to Texas because of our booming IT economy. He had a silly COEXIST sticker on his little clown car and voted for hussein. His high-school age daughter, a cheerleader, has likewise been leading her dad to the right course. She goes to a Christian church and opposes sodomy in all forms. Thanks to her example, her dad traded in the clown car and now drives a normal vehicle. And sometime ago, at a high school football game, he said that he voted for Ted Cruz. And, to top it all off, he now flies a Texas flag from his front porch. And I fully expect he'll start coming to church too.

So, based on that evidence (and probably repeated a thousandfold), I only see that Christian Conservatism are on a measurable upswing. That's the kind of trends that the hussein-controlled media refuse to cover.

You're right not to trust The Atlantic, but the falling off of Evangelical energies has been reported elsewhere.

It's not really a new or surprising thing: no revival or Great Awakening on religious energies in American history lasted forever. There was always a weakening of enthusiasm and a falling away of adherents. It's hard to maintain the a high degree of commitment and energy over several decades.

But religious fervor moves in cycles. This isn't the end of Evangelicals by any means. Just the receding tide before the next wave comes in.

Statistics don’t lie, but liars use statistics.

The church I attend outside of Houston is very, very conservative with strong Bible base and teachings. Our attendance has increased almost five fold in the last year and there is a noticeable increase in Black couples and Hispanic families. Our weekly Bible study group last year was normally five or six who came every week, this year we have 18 and none of them have missed a gathering since we started up for the fall in mid-August.

Tell ya what. You just keep on saying it’s “leftest lies”. That’s like standing in the rain, naked, and saying you aren’t wet.

SO many States trending, and voting reliably, blue that never did. Polls on policy are showing a Left moving populace. Gay “marriage”. The ONLY reason we are hanging on one iota is because of some 5-4 decisions by SCOTUS that will not last a generation.

Everything in America is racing Left but yeah ... it’s one big lie. It’s why the GOP STILL may not take the Senate when it should be a slam dunk.
