"Newsweek" heralds decline of American Christianity

Ever anxious to create controversy, Newsweek, in its April 13 cover story, has proclaimed the decline and fall of Christian America. The number of Americans who consider themselves Christians has fallen 10 percentage points in two decades, Newsweeks Jon Meacham reported with scantily-disguised glee. "Our politics and our culture are, in the main, less influenced by movements and arguments of an explicitly Christian character than they were even five years ago," Meacham wrote.

William Jasper of "The New American" magazine observes, "Christian religion, morality, and culture are indeed in decline in contemporary America, in no small measure because of decades of tireless effort on the part of entities like Newsweek to persuade Americans that Christianity is a moribund belief system associated with a false and ineffectual god."
