Recently, a Pew study found that 49% of Americans have simply walked away from God, the church and religion. They sighted everything from drifting away in College when hearing about Evolution to lack of evidence for miracles, lack of common sense, hypocrisy in Christians, lack of logic to believe in God, his plan and promises. Belief in God is the ‘opiate’ of the people. Faith is a drug and they want to get off it.
Half the country is leaving Church, God and faith in America. They apparently have a better plan and know how to solve their own pain and problems – figuring that they will figure out why they are here. Naturally, many believe they were evolved from a primordial ooze with no purpose or plan in mind. That makes so much more sense than belief in a loving and creative God who has a plan for His creation.
