Obama Loving Media: Newsweek Predicts the End of Christianity in America (GOD IS DEAD… AGAIN!!!)
The percentage of self-identified Christians has fallen 10 points in the past two decades. How that statistic explains who we

It was a small detail, a point of comparison buried in the fifth paragraph on the 17th page of a 24-page summary of the 2009 American Religious Identification Survey. But as R.

I just noticed this as one of my listed URL’s that referenced the site. I don’t see it referenced other than the name from my freerepublic blog posting though. Is it linked to the image on the fracturedrepublic.com site?
Thanks for posting. I thought the title was good too! Your site looks great.
