While unbelievers may scoff, we're quickly approaching complete societal collapse with numbers like this coming out of Germany.
Nietzsche's prediction about the death of God is coming true in his home country.
In 7 decades Germany went from an overwhelming majority of Christian and Bible-believing citizens down to a huge minority today.
Only 13 percent of those surveyed still represent traditional "church-religious attitudes". More than half, namely 56 percent, are "secular," meaning not religious at all. Many "secular people" even actively think in an anti-religious way because they see "science" as being in direct contradiction to faith.
From majority Christian to majority secular and anti-Christian.
One factor in this drop can be seen in this map of religious affiliation from 2011:
The green is majority Catholic, the blue is majority Protestant, and the red is no religion or atheism.
It's important, critical even, to note that the red portion of Germany was a different country in 1949. It is formerly East Germany which was under Soviet control.
The commies stomped out religion, East Germany never regained their religiosity, and the anti-Christian sentiments have apparently come to infect the rest of the country.
As leftist, Marxist, and woke sensibilities have grown they have slowly pushed religion, especially Christianity, out of acceptable public practice.
The Catholic Church is hit particularly hard. Celibacy and the refusal to ordain women may be theologically justified, but they seem out of date. And the Catholic Church's abuse scandals are becoming a permanent catastrophe - because abuse is terrible, but also because Catholics no longer seem to know any other topic.
Things don't look much better for Protestants. As an observer, one might be inclined to attribute this to a one-sided political orientation of the Protestant organizations and some pastors: Anyone who does not think left-wing, ecological or pacifist must often feel misunderstood in the Protestant church environment.
As Europe becomes more radically Left there's less place for Christianity than ever before.
And with the collapse of belief in God, the authors note, we see an increase in depression, suicide, and loneliness.
It's almost as if removing purpose from life is a bad thing.
Of course, the authors also suggest churches should be more welcoming, more liberal, and more loving. The idea is that it will be more inviting to people outside the church. However, we know, that it's only the truth of scripture that has the power to heal and change hearts.
This is no time to soften the message and make the church into a social club.
But if things continue on their current path Germany, and Europe as a whole, will become completely, hopelessly, pagan.
