Mormon Jesus, a white supremacist, pyramid scheme is a militant Jesus Christ who will do battle with the homosexuals and the women who are having sex out of marriage … Mormon Jesus loves corporations, tax cuts and machine guns. He has no patience for lazy people who don’t contribute to him.

Without a modern version of Constantine to promote the religion it’s bound to whither. Poor people tend to be the majority supporters but as the global economy worsens so does the fate of the church if it can’t sustain its followers or service providers.

I hope this covers the complexities. Many of the dying churches are mainline denominations, while many non-denom are growing. Yes, maga is factoring into a lot of this, and I predict a big shift of some kind when people come to their senses on what trump worship has done to the church.

Sadly, it is the progressive old mainline protestant churches that are closing. The pentefundagelical preachers of prosperity who take their tithing congregations for suckers? Yeah, they're prospering just fine, thank you very much.

60% of the UK are not religious and only 4% go to church. Repurpose the building as community places, accommodation or even pubs.

The problem isn't religion, friend. The problem is people putting the mask of religious piety and using the religion to justify doing bad things to others. People are the problem. People would use something else as an excuse to kill if religion dissapeared its just who people are. We are animals.
