America once called itself a religious nation. But look around , the exodus has already begun and it is loud, subtle and generational.
Young people are not buying the old sermons of sin and salvation. Faith is being replaced by science, therapy and the internet. Why trust a God who never shows up when suffering is full in the world.
The numbers dont lie, every year fewer Americans identify as religious. Not because they lost their way but because they finally see, the path clearly. The God concept is being questioned, rejected, and abandoned.
Religion thrives on control, not compassion. It thrives on power, not truth. It thrives on fear not love.
That is why people are leaving. That is why atheism is rising. Because once you see through the mask, you cannot unseen, you realise there was never holiness in that abuse, only control dressed up as God.
