My pastor said their church attendance is down 30% from before the Covid lock-downs started, and they no longer stream services! My church has moved from 2 services to one, and no sign it will return.
It seems it is actually the young that are not returning to church.
If lower church attendance was the goal of the DS, then mission accomplished. :(
More people are praying to God daily, however. I was never much of a practicing Christian and never a church goer. But now I pray daily - if not multiple times a day and have read the Bible. Take heart! Just because you can see people in church, many more prayers are being said. Christianity is growing in China and Iran - both countries that outright outlaw it. FAITH
