To list:


    Coming from a unique background from a largely pseudo baptist
upbringing of infrequent trips to church on Sunday posesan important
trendy question in terms of religion. The question arises about the
fewer church members in terms of percentage points as there once was
in this country and the reason why it's occuring in the modern 21st
century America? When I was younger, I had no real moral support nor
saw the equality of being treated humanly with the pitfalls of the
creation of things. I also witnessed lots of religious hypocrits that
sinned outside like not practicing what they preached especially in
the portion of Texas where I once dwelt. The organizational structure
as a whole questions most recently some people's faith in catholicism
or in religious authority over political or moral decisions like
electing gays or other counter normaltive persons into religious
office. Then, I also see churches speaking out of the altar about
socialism and etc that for the most part shouldn't be tolerated
because of the separation of church and state and if so should be
taxed heavely for it.
     Back to the original question of why people don't go to organized
religions anymore? Well, I also think younger people with the influx
of globalization on influences and immigration with a defiant younger
generation that doesn't like being told what to do will not typically
want any sort of symbolence of authority. They realize that the older
generation was sadly slower and less educated as a whole on average on
social progressivism. These and the changes of technology where ads
and networking can spring up overnight change things drastically. In
the past, people used to be stopped like the Roaring Twenties and so
on and so forth with a gradual switch. Anyways, I'm interested in what
you guys have to say about this topic as it affects us all.

God bless,
Peter
