Nonverts: The Making of Ex-Christian America by Stephen Bullivant
3.0
This book was alight, expensive for the length and content. Didn't educate me much I what I have already observed. The book has a good mix of personal interviews and nation wide statistics. America's religious foundation is changing, but what may be reducing in quantity may be improving in quality.
There are some interesting observations.....
1 - We listen more to an ex-drug addict about the dangers of drugs versus the non-user off the street. An interesting but real, reality. For this reason, the rise of the percentage of the population that once had a religion but now has turned to speak down on religion is effective. It exponentially increases the rate of individuals walking away from this needed aspect of the individual and community.
2 - Trends will not necessarily continue. We may be approaching the European-like floor. I will also point out that the Bible points to a remnant, not a majority.
The cross on the cover and the Christian background of the author should not mislead. This book is about a departure of faith across many religions, not just Christianity.
