3. Two things got the butts in the pews: showbiz and prosperity theology
The showbiz is wearing thin and the prosperity theology has been exposed as a vicious lie for everybody but the high living preachers, especially among the young. The young have been hit the hardest by the Republican recession.

I'm not surprised they're moving away from the churches. I sincerely doubt that many of them will join the ranks of us bitter old atheists, but I do see abandoning the church and the pernicious theology as a good sign.

Let your friend to continue to pray for your atheist soul. It occupies her time and keeps her out of bars.
