Are churches finding different ways to turn people Christian?

That sounds like the plot line from a grade-B, 1950s sci-fi flick. (Just re-cast the mad doctor as a priest, and we're on our way!)

Almost all churches across the board including catholic and protestant, are in a state of attrition.

I won't bore anyone with numbers but the loss of membership is worrying church elders everywhere.

For awhile the pentecostal churches were showing off that their numbers were growing but it came to light this wasn't true. It was simply people moving from church to church and they too had a similar attrition rate.

We are seeing the decline of christianity. It has become less and less relevant in this world. More and more people are saying they simply don't believe in god anymore.

All nations rise and fall, just as religions do as well. Where is Greece and Rome and Mongolia? Where are their deities? Long past into the depths of time.
