No supposition. Based upon my actual, church-going experience in the 1960s and 1970s in America's heartland.
You got sumpin' better?
I call! (Poker)

Apparently some Liberals are religious.
I wasn't referring to conversations being conducted while the Holy Host was being elevated!
Didn't your pastor or priest ever conclude the service and then include a few "program notes" about upcoming church events? A parish breakfast, Dads' Softball Game, or the like?
Regards,
Well, more power to yuh!
And "Cheers!"

The Left has politicized EVERYTHING. How did we find ourselves in this situation? Spineless Republicans haven’t stood up to the bullying in any areas of our lives.
College students have said, in record numbers, they fear disagreeing with their Profs as it will affect their grades. The Left wants our beloved country to completely fail and Republicans in Government ‘go along to get along’. They are going along right into a broken country where Marxists will jump in to ‘save us’. The fat lady is preparing to sing.
I'm very happy to be wrong here. I was thinking in general of the historically black denominations such as AME/AME Zion and National Baptist, which are the religious equivalent of NAACP.
All the historically white denominations have split in two conservative/liberal, but that doesn't seem to happen in the historically black denominations.
“A rainbow flag in front of a church is a red flag for me.”

You think?????
Me too! No F’n way I’d even step foot in a rainbow flag draped church!
Might as well have NO church!
Either you follow the Holy Bible to the one true God, or you don’t follow the Bible and follow some dream of what you wish God was.
Sadly, few churches actually follow the Bible anymore. It’s the main reason why America is now lost.
Church should not be about feeling good about yourself. Church should be about realizing how pathetic you are in comparison to the pureness of Jesus, and doing everything you can to help everyone improve. Most simply can’t handle the truth, or want to work any harder than they already do at it.
I finally left a fairly liberal UMC when they said anyone who disagreed with the new LGBT wokeness was a bigot. I saw that it was becoming a cult. We went to a very conservative non-denom but we moved so we are now in a non-political UMC.
“Atheists (16%) were least likely to have shopped for a new church”
It’s another Sherlock sighting!
Because they know they'll never have to put up with the nonsense forced on white churches.
I hope it all comes back to bite them in the butt one day.
I took my family to a social event at our church. As people began mingling, I found myself withdrawing and not wanting to talk to anyone. This puzzled me: these are people I love and it’s not like me to be that way.
I began praying about it, and I saw in my mind a church we had passed on the way to our church. It had a rainbow flag out front and their sign had some message that was pro-homosexual. I was grieving over that church.
I grabbed a couple of my friends and we went to a corner and prayed about that church.
The church we attend on Sunday makes FR look leftist.
Hilarious!
Well. Habitual. Probably went to church in their youth and feel like it’s a comfort to continue to go. And the fake gospel they hear makes them feeeeeel good.
Got one like that in my family. Very woke and supports the agenda of the left. And he's an Episcopalian. Very big on being part of his flock.
