I've probably said this here before, but it's more true than ever:
The US is in a race between christian extremism and secularism.
The numbers show that churches are increasingly desperate because they are shrinking, in every way. People started empying the pews in earnest during Trump's first run. It's accelerating again.
The US evangelical complex is currently upside-down -- it cannot cover its assets internally. It is now being propped up by international sources.
