For example, a shocking new survey by LifeWay Christian Resources shows that the vast majority of young adults in America today do not go to church, do not pray and do not read the Bible.

Just consider a few of the results from this incredibly troubling survey of 18 to 29 year old Americans....

•65% rarely or never pray with others, and 38% almost never pray by themselves either.

•65% rarely or never attend worship services of any kind.

•67% don't read the Bible or any other religious texts on a regular basis.

That is a solid two-thirds of American young adults who don't even have the slightest connection to traditional Christianity.

Thom Rainer, the president of LifeWay Christian Resources, says that if the current trends continue, "the Millennial generation will see churches closing as quickly as GM dealerships."

The survey did find that 65% of those surveyed did call themselves "Christian", but among that 65%, "many are either mushy Christians or Christians in name only," Rainer says. "Most are just indifferent. The more precisely you try to measure their Christianity, the fewer you find committed to the faith."

But it just isn't this latest survey that is showing a mass exodus from the Christian faith by America's young people.

According to a recent survey by America's Research Group, 95 percent of 20 to 29 year old evangelical Christians attended church regularly during their elementary school and middle school years. However, only 55 percent of those young evangelical Christians still attended church regularly during high school, and only 11 percent of them were still regularly attending church when they went to college.

Only 11 percent.

And that was among self-identified evangelical Christians.

But the most recent American Religious Identification Survey conducted by the Institute for the Study of Secularism in Society & Culture at Trinity College was perhaps even more shocking.

According to that survey, 15% of Americans now say they have "no religion" - which is up from 8% in 1990.  However, what was much more disturbing was that 46% of Americans between the ages of 18 to 34 indicated that they had no religion in the survey.

46 percent.

That is not just a trend.

That is not just a landslide.

That is a mass exodus.

Today there is a mass exodus of America's young people from the traditional Christian faith.  There is simply no getting around it.

Another recent by the Barna group showed that less than 1 percent of all Americans between the ages of 18 and 23 hold a Biblical worldview.

So what is a Biblical worldview?

Well, the Barna survey defined someone as holding "a Biblical worldview" if they agreed to the following six key beliefs:

1) Believing that absolute moral truth exists.
2) Believing that the Bible is completely accurate in all of the principles it teaches.
3) Believing that Satan is considered to be a real being or force, not merely symbolic.
4) Believing that a person cannot earn their way into Heaven by trying to be good or by doing good works.
5) Believing that Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth.
6) Believing that God is the all-knowing, all-powerful creator of the world who still rules the universe today.

Using those six criteria, less than 1 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 23 hold a Biblical worldview.

The implications of this are staggering.

The truth is that the United States is quickly becoming a highly secularized nation.  Europe has already been down this road, and now America is rapidly following.

Hundreds (perhaps thousands) of churches will close as people simply quit going.  Large numbers of Christian ministries, radio stations, television shows and book stores will have to shut their doors because there will not be nearly enough people to support them.

But the most frightening thing of all is that we are losing almost an entire generation to the world.  Never before in U.S history has an entire generation rejected the gospel as much as this one has. 

America's young people are rejecting the Christian faith, and yet the Christian establishment keeps running around and telling everyone that everything is fine.

Everything is NOT fine. 

The Church in America is broken.  It is very rare to find a church where authentic Christianity is being practiced anymore.  Our young people are not stupid.  They know what is real and what is not.  If the Church in America would repent and turn back to real, authentic Christianity at least we would have a chance of capturing the attention of those young Americans who are honestly looking for the truth.

But it is not all the fault of the Church.  The truth is that we have created a society where children are taught that Christianity is not important.  Our public schools teach our children day after day after day that they evolved from monkeys, that abortion, sex before marriage and homosexuality are perfectly moral and that anyone who disagrees is a bigot.  Then they go home and they are surrounded by entertainment for the rest of the day (television, radio, video games, Internet, movies) and the overwhelming message regarding the Christian faith in these forms of entertainment is that either Christianity is irrelevant, not true or should be openly mocked.

So should we be surprised when the overwhelming majority of them reject the Christian faith?  Should we expect anything else?

We have raised our children in the godless society that we have constructed and now we are so surprised that they are godless.

But nobody should be surprised.

We are just reaping what we have sown.

What Does The Bible Say About Salvation?

This "religious conscience" exemption is in both the House and the Senate versions of the health care reform bill.  Thus it is almost certain to make it into the final version of the bill unless there are some dramatic last minute objections.

So why do the Amish want to be able to opt out of this system?  Well, the reality is that most Amish are disgusted by any type of government assistance.  In most Amish societies, families and neighbors take care of one another.  The thought of participating in a government-run health care system is totally repugnant to them.

But it is not only the Amish that will benefit from this provision.  Other groups such as Old Order Mennonites and Christian Scientists could benefit as well.

So what about the rest of us?

Can the rest of us get in on this action?

If the Amish can opt out of the requirement to purchase health insurance, they why can't average, hard-working Americans?

Or do we need to invent a religion first?

If so, here are a few potential ideas for new religions which might work.....

*Anti-Reid/Pelosi/Frankianity

*The National Organization of "I don't want none of that Obama health care mess"

*Leavemetheheckaloneism

*The Universal Belief That Brittney Spears Will Heal All Of Our Diseases So We Don't Need Health Insurance Religion And Poker Club

*GetoutofmywalletObamalamadingdong

*The "I live in my mother's basement so I can't afford your insurance in the first place" meditation center and lounge

*The "You can take your death panels and you can stick them where the sun don't shine" center for peace, love and forgiveness

*The "This bill is so bad I'd rather trust my health care to Tom Cruise than to Obama" meditation center and herbal tea discussion group

*The "I grew a beard so I am Amish too" social club

*The "Being conservative is a religion because every day we pray that Obama will get voted out in 2012" 12-step group

For those not familiar with Climategate, essentially what happened is that hacked emails and documents from the University of East Anglia’s Hadley Climate Research Unit were posted on the Internet which prove that many of the key scientists involved in the theory of global warming conspired to falsify climate data in order to prop up the premise that mankind is causing climate change.  A great summary of this unfolding scandal can be found here.

Why did they did those scientists have to falsify the data?

Why?

Because the actual science simply does not support the theory of man-made global warming.  If you are not aware of how the scientific data clearly shows that man is not causing global warming, please read the article that we recently posted on our sister site entitled "How To Save The Environment? Get Al Gore The Heck Away From It".

But Climategate is not about to stop Barack Obama from heading to Copenhagen.  In fact, world leaders from all over the globe will soon be pouring in to Copenhagen ready to sign a treaty that will pledge their nations to make deep sacrifices in order to fight the threat of climate change.  The Copenhagen Treaty will give an as yet unnamed U.N. body the power to directly intervene in the financial, economic, tax and environmental affairs of all the nations in order to fight the threat of climate change.  It would represent a gigantic step towards world government.  In fact, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon recently wrote an editorial in the New York Times that openly declared that "global governance" is needed to fight the threat of global warming.

In his editorial, Ban Ki-moon made the following very disturbing statements.....

"All agree that climate change is an existential threat to humankind."

"A deal must include an equitable global governance structure."

"All countries must have a voice in how resources are deployed and managed."

Sorry Ban Ki-moon, but all do not agree.

In fact, the whole Climategate scandal has revealed that the top global warming scientists have been deliberately lying to us.

In response to Climategate, White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs stated that for the Obama administration it really does not change anything.....

"In the order of several thousand scientists have come to the conclusion that climate change is happening," Gibbs told reporters. "I don’t think that any of that is, quite frankly among most people, in dispute."

But it is not just the denial of good science that makes global warming like a religion.  The truth is that global warming extremism has now essentially become a religion.

In fact, one judge in the U.K. has issued an opinion giving belief in global warming the status of a religion.  Just check out what Justice Michael Burton wrote.....

"A belief in man-made climate change, and the alleged resulting moral imperatives, is capable, if genuinely held, of being a philosophical belief for the purpose of the 2003 Religion and Belief Regulations. The belief must be of a similar cogency or status to a religious belief, the ECHR jurisprudence is directly material and the limitations on the concept and extent of a philosophical belief can be derived from that, without the need to place any additional limitation on the nature or source of the belief."

In addition, many of the world's most prominent religious leaders have expressed their belief in global warming and in the importance of trying to stop climate change.  The Dalai Lama himself now says that the world's leaders must give the highest priority to the issue of global warming.  Earlier this month Pope Benedict told a United Nations world food summit that "the Earth can sufficiently feed all of its inhabitants" despite the "devastation" caused by global warming.  The World Council of Churches is calling on churches around the world to ring their bells 350 times during the Copenhagen climate change summit as a call to action on global warming.

Not only that, but some of the top environmental extremists associated with the U.N. actually want to equate the battle against global warming with religion.  According to a paper written two years ago to influence the future strategy of the United Nations Environmental Program, environmentalism should be considered to be on the same level with religion as it is "the only compelling, value-based narrative available to humanity."

But nobody is doing more to equate global warming with religion than Al Gore is.  Already dubbed "the eco-prophet" by environmental extremists, Al Gore is stressing the "spiritual side" of climate change in his new book.

In fact, Gore has developed specific environmental training programs for each of the major world religions.

Newsweek quotes Gore as saying the following regarding these training programs.....

"I've done a Christian [-based] training program; I have a Muslim training program and a Jewish training program coming up, also a Hindu program coming up. I trained 200 Christian ministers and lay leaders here in Nashville in a version of the slide show that is filled with scriptural references."

The truth is that belief in global warming is quickly becoming a global religious movement.  Those without blind faith need not apply.  A global treaty is about to be signed which will impose strict regulations on the lives of every man, woman and child on the planet to fight a threat which the science says simply is not there.  To question this insanity is to risk being branded as a heretic by the environmental extremists that control the United Nations and most of the governments around the world. 

The fight against global warming is now part of the official orthodoxy of the 21st century.  To question it is to question the very world system that we are all a part of.  The global elite intends to use this belief system to impose tyrannical regulations on the entire planet all in the name of saving the earth.

If you plan on speaking up about this you better do so while there is still time.
