Right wing "Christians" in media and in politics doing everything but what Jesus would do. It turns people off.
Facts. I was pretty religious up until my early 20's but the things I heard, read and saw didn't line up with being a decent, moral person. The more I learned, the less in-tune I became with religion.

These jobs don't pay enough to give 10%

Why should I support the pastor when I can't support myself.

Ppl looking for salvation in this life, not the next.

Yes or no... Did the pandemic cause a decline in church attendance?

If you look at the chart posted by OP, membership was on the decline long before COVID.

During lockdown, a lot of people got used to viewing church online and will likely only go back for Easter and other special Sundays.

Facts. Got me fukked up if you think Im fukking with those cacs. And everyone sees it across the board. Look at them numbers:

Republican 77 75 65 -12
Independent 59 51 41 -18
Democrat 71 60 46 -25
Conservative 78 73 64 -14
Moderate 66 59 45 -21
Liberal 56 46 35 -21


Those are double digit losses in each category, but the biggest drops are in the middle and on the left politically. No one is growing in church shyt, not even the right. Its increasingly shrinking into a shytty white supremacist Right wing cult and you love to see it.

Nothing makes me cringe like nikkas that know our history, yet sit here today worshipping the white mans Jesus willingly knowing they took us from our land and indoctrinated us to their shytty beliefs. :snoop:

Go to church to pay another man to read you the Bible when you can do it yourself brehs.

Go to church to pay another man so he can take your money to buy a new Lexus while you still driving your old car brehs.

Go to Medical school to pay another man so he can take your money when you can buy medical books?
Go to law school to pay another man so he can take your money when you can buy books on the law?

You see: this is really making sense.

This is one of the main reasons why our community is struggling now.
Look at All of these dusty atheists talking down on the black church. When it the Black Church that provided safe haven for runaways, organized revolts, and taught them how to read. It was the Black Church that spearheaded the civil rights movement and many of the rights y'all currently enjoy. There should be constructive criticism in regards to the black church but going the atheist route is an expressway to dustiness. What worthy contributions have black atheists provided to the Black community?

bruh for ever Creflo Dollar and TD Jakes there are thousands of pastors who live normal lives who probably just preach because they like it.

I’m not religious and haven’t been to church regularly in like 14 years but I know it can play an important part in the community.


Y’all swear every pastor lives in a mansion and drives a luxury car :mjlol:

Every time I’ve passed a church or mosque they’ve had signs for food pantries and free clothes giveaways. The church does more good than bad

They always want pastors to be broke. If a pastor is not taking advantage of his parishioners and has other sources of income, what's the problem? They don't have any problems when they buy jewelry from these Arabs and Indians who live in the lap of luxury. They don't have a problem with European designers being wealthy. They don't have a problem with all these European owned liquor companies getting paid while poisoning the community but they have a problem with a pastors who most are not living in luxury.
