They claim they do, but they definitely do.

That's right.

And it is dangerous now to have an opinion that violates the standard viewpoint of the culture.

It's just unbelievable to me where that nation has gone.

And there's places in Europe that are similar.

So I want to read this to you.

Why is the decline happening across the world?

I think there's a lot of explanations for that, a lot of factors that go into that.

Number one, I don't trust the stats.

Because back in 1966, when I met my wife, we were 14 years old, 91% of Americans would say they're Christians.

Do you think we were a nation that reflected that back then?

I don't think so.

What do you mean by reflected?

Yeah, do we live as if we're 91% followers of Jesus Christ?

No.

So people will claim in the past, if you're a business guy,

and you wanted a bunch of clients, you know, you want to go to a big church in your community and become a member of that church and so forth.

So you have an incentive to present yourself as being a Christian.

Are you truly born again?

Are you truly have a relationship with God?
