Experts project an estimated 100,000 churches in the US will close or be repurposed over the next decade.

Many churches will be unable to escape this “tsunami” of closings — a grim trajectory one pastor described as, “Every year the pews are getting emptier and the collection plates getting lighter.”

Hmmm, fewer religious people. Yet somehow I guess the few remaining will still be able to lead us into White Christian Nationality.

I also wonder if they are accounting for the number of people who attend online. Fewer, people in church doesn't necessarily mean fewer believers. Just fewer churches.

I admit I didn't read it. Was that a sin?
