USA media have periodically this week been running interviews/reports alluding to a general sentiment that America is becoming "less Christian"; there seems to be no 'silver bullet' as to why offered, and indeed most commentators concede that these days, there are even those claiming ATHEISM who say they also believe in God, and generally that an easy majority of USA residents still have a religious faith. How, then, can the USA be described as "becoming ever-less Christian"?

Perhaps it's time to stop sniping religion-to-religion within Christian faith, especially since "nations" are abstractions with bordered jurisdictions led by petty-to-high officials, thus nations are not real persons, and look to Christian Scriptures for obvious salients which might talk about USA officials coinciding less with Christian values.

About the only Christian Scripture many USA officials admire is Matthew 25:40, as if to rely on "even religion" as a reason to relieve residents of a need to be shepherded  by clergy administering faith-funded services, together with secular nomenclatura who have their own money, but prefer everyone else to live on credits as deemed necessary to the comfort of the nomenclatura...it's as if were not a few Churches selected for the job and thus which don't fall to New Urbanism, there wouldn't be a need for religion at all, in the minds of nomenclatura; no, this isn't some confusion with the old Soviet idea of "photo op Churches", it's America today.

Not even fewer public worship houses nor ability to religiously express out-of-home, means less Christian activity; indeed, while there are interesting Constitutional issues involved, as far as Scripture, well...even Christ said we should pray in our inner rooms at home, as a matter of routine. As for Matthew 25:40, if one looks at the Scriptures as a whole to construct their context, again, even Jesus never sought to strong-arm any person or government into diverting all money to some nebulous "poor", let alone strong-arm anyone into a global "poor house". Whoever believes that is either lacking in Scripture knowledge or is a Socialist or Totalist desperate for "justification" where "it's my will, deux et mon droit" doesn't sound good.

There are many Scriptural tracts which plainly state an assumption one is to have an earthly life, using whatever gifts and talents God provides them and in line with Caesar's (or the Constitution's) society, and do those "Kingdom of God" things as best they can from their own reserves and without bankrupting themselves; in fact, re the poor, barring physical impediments it's more "help get to feet" rather than "hobble and BE their feet".

Many Bibles printed in 2000 or prior, let alone original documents, exist for anyone's perusal; in that I am prone to being a windbag, for brevity I will cite a mere three tracts in support:

Ephesians 4:28 - "The thief must no longer steal, but rather labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with one in need".

1 Thessalonians 4:10-11 - "Nevertheless we urge you, brothers, to progress even more, and to aspire to live a tranquil life, to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you".

2 Thessalonians 3:7-8 - "For you know how one must imitate us. For we did not act in a disorderly way among you, nor did we eat food received for free from anyone. On the contrary, in toil and drudgery, night and day we worked, so as not to burden any of you".

Wherefore, I submit that THE biggest way assorted USA government types are coinciding less with Christianity, and thus making the USA a "less Christian nation", is via lack of concern over the ever-dwindling prospects for anyone, national or any present or future immigrant, to do their own work and not be dependent on governments, their credit, or CRA's for "permission" to keep on living or participating in a non-equity totalism, or a no rights/local petition Socialism. Everything else one might rationally perceive as "less Christian" obviously is in reaction to or expediencies of the main "no work" motto.
