America, a country with the largest Christian population in the world is rapidly loosing it's Christian identity.

In 2019, 65% of American adults described themselves as Christians. [68] In 2020, 47% of Americans said that they belonged to a church, down from 70% in 1999. Between 2000 and 2017, the number of Catholic churches declined by nearly 11% and by 2019, the number of Catholics decreased by 2 million people. [70] Since 1970, weekly church attendance among Catholics has dropped from 55% to 20%, the number of priests declined from 59,000 to 35,000 and the number of people who have left Catholicism has increased from under 2 million in 1975 to over 30 million today. [71] In 2022, there were fewer than 42,000 nuns left in the United States, a 76% decline over 50 years, with fewer than 1% of nuns under age 40. [72] The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) lost about 30% of its congregation and closed 12.5% of its churches: the United Methodist church lost 16.7% of its congregation and 10.2% of its churches. The Presbyterian Church has had the sharpest decline in church membership: between 2000 and 2015 they lost over 40% of their congregation and 15.4% of their churches. [73] Infant baptism has also decreased; nationwide, Catholic baptisms are down by nearly 34%, and ELCA baptisms by over 40%. [73] The Southern Baptist Convention has experienced decline: between 2006 and 2020, they lost 2.3 million members, representing a 14% decrease in membership during that period. [74][75] The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod reported in 2021 that the denomination has been declining in membership. [76] In 2020, the church reported approximately 1.8 million total baptized members, a decline from its peak in 1971 when it reported nearly 2.8 million total baptized members. [77][78]

In 2018, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that churches in Minnesota were being closed due to dwindling attendance. [73] Mainline protestant churches in Minnesota have seen the sharpest declines in their congregations. [citation needed ] The Catholic Church has closed 81 churches between 2000 and 2017; the Archdiocese of Minneapolis closed 21 churches in 2010 and has had to merge dozens more. In roughly the same time frame, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America in Minnesota has lost 200,000 members and closed 150 churches. The United Methodist Church , which is Minnesota's second-largest Protestant denomination, has closed 65 of its churches. In the early 1990s, the Archdiocese of Chicago closed almost 40 Catholic churches and schools. [79] In 2016, increasing costs and priest shortages fueled plans to close or consolidate up to 100 Chicago Catholic churches and schools in the next 15 years. [80] The Archdiocese of New York announced in 2014 that nearly 1/3 of their churches were merging and closing. [81] The Archdiocese of Boston closed more than 70 churches between 2004 and 2019. [82] In 2021, the Archbishop of Cincinnati announced that 70% of Catholic churches would be closing there in the next several years. [83] Nationally, Catholic school enrollment has declined by more than 430,000 students since 2008. [84]

Moderate and liberal denominations in the United States have been closing down churches at a rate three or four times greater than the number of new churches being consecrated .[85]. It has been asserted that of the approximately 3,700 churches that close each year, up to half are unsuccessful new churches. [86] The more conservative evangelical denominations have also declined, representing 23% of population in 2006 and 14% in 2020 according to the Public Religion Research Institute .[87]

The Orthodox Church (pre-denominational) and the denominations like Jehovah's Witnesses, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and
Pentecostals had slight increases in membership between 2003 and 2018 but the number of adults in the United States who do not report any religious affiliation nearly doubled over that period. [88] However, in 2021, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America , the largest Orthodox church in the United States, reported membership losses during a 40-year period. [89] In 2015, Pew Research reported a 38% decline in membership from 2009 to 2014 among the Orthodox Churches in the United States. [90]

The Public Religion Research Institute 's 2020 Census of American Religion showed that the overall decline of white Christians in America had slowed, stabilizing at around 44% of the population, [91][92] compare to 42% in 2019. [5] The Public Religion Research Institute's 2020 Census of American Religion showed that 70% of Americans identify as Christian. [5] It also showed that, contrary to expectations, white evangelicals had continued to decline and that they were now outnumbered by white mainline protestants. [92][93][94]

[quote author=smachboss01 post=117307842]so what is your point...

Where do you see Islam loosing to Christianity?. Tell us the place with your proofs and facts.

It is officially accepted that about 4,000 (four thousand) churches are being closed down in America in every single year. Some independent surveys and polls however said the number of the closed churches is higher than the official figure. Many of them put their figures between 6,000 to 10,000 churches annually.

Churches stewed in Religion and Traditions will eventually die!

Luk 18:8:
".... Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"

Men will become faithless as the end come nearer!

That's why Jesus repeatedly said:
Take heed that no man Decieve you

I hope you are aware of what Muhammad said about the fate of Islam:


Sahih Muslim 146
It is narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Umar ('Abdullahb. 'Umar) that the Messenger of Allah observed: Verily Islam started as something strange and it would again revert (to its old position) of being strange just as it started, and it would recede between the two mosques just as the serpent crawls back into its hole.
