I didn't expect Target to lead the revolution, but simply holding the line on their pro-diversity policies from just 2 or 3 years ago would be nice. I'm well aware that corporations are fickle and only care about profits, but it's still depressing to see how easily so many organizations - and not just corporations - have bent to Trump's bullying and threats.
Actually compared to where it was even 30 or 40 years ago that's a big drop. And if Republicans continue to force their Christianity down everyone's throats those numbers are eventually going to shrink again. It's like the Public Ed Superintendent in OK who is trying to force Trump Bibles into classrooms and introduce Bible classes into the curriculum. I seriously doubt that's going to win over students, instead it's likely alienate them even more. Mixing conservative Christianity and politics has been a disaster for Christianity, imo.
One of my favorite companies. Their bay leaves are great! Large variety of cinnamon.This corporation has been active in speaking out against Trump. I suggest everyone buy their spices from them.
RESIST! Seasoning
Our RESIST! seasoning is nicely spicy with a hint of smokiness. Sprinkle RESIST! heavily on hummus or chopped avocado and it will be spicy.www.penzeys.com
About Republicans
About Republicans -- As we’ve now said on our first-ever About Us page on our website, there’s something unique about humankind’s relationship with spices that time and again have caused spices to be a driving force for change. We live in a time calling out for change and for solutions to the...
Maybe but the number has stabilized.
Doesn’t feel like 60%+ is Christian. Duh.
I think most of this is overstated. I’ve gone to three churches in the last 10-12 years and never heard a thing partisan. My pastor has prayed for Biden, Trump, etc but only in saying we should pray for our leaders. I go to a huge church now and politics are never mentioned.
How many of those people who “identify as Christians” are Christians?
Just remove a digit.
We don't know that for certain - it could easily continue dropping, especially if Republicans continue tearing down the separation of church and state. I think America is simply following the same path that most European countries, Australia, and New Zealand took decades ago. Their religious affiliations kept dropping until currently only about 1 in 10 people in those countries regularly attend church today, although higher percentages still call themselves Christian. And while about 60% of Americans still call themselves Christians, the numbers who regularly attend church is lower. According to a 2023 Gallup poll, only 21% of U.S. adults attended church every week, and 11% attended about once a month. That is a decline from 44% in 2000 and 49% in 1958.
Well we don’t know anything. The data says it’s stabilized. That’s all we can definitively point to.
You could also ask how at atheists pray? Polls say a lot. What do they pray to? What’s the point?
Oh no. We can point out that it's fallen by a third in 60 years. Dropping that much in that sort of time is more significant than a flattening of the curve. That flattening isn't without meaning but if you read deeply into the article, they don't consider it predictive.
Atheists are as misguided as religious people. The only thing that makes sense is some sort of reluctant agnosticism. The universe is too big and old to say there's not one, the very same reasons that there is for thinking that it's irrelevant if there is.
Ok. Either way. You want it lower and I’m happy it’s 60%+. Neither of us will dramatically impact it.
I don't actually care if it's lower if they left others alone. If they followed what Jesus taught , tried to convert by example, followed the Beatitudes and were willing to shake the dust of their feet and leave when people didn't want to listen, I'd be fine with them.
