More importantly, I'm not sure what you are referring to with "it."

If you're referring to being more welcoming of social and economic causes, I'd mostly agree. The black churches are a big exception, though. They've thrived with that emphasis.
Doctrines and practices shifting away from tradition, demanding less, expecting less, permissiveness in all moral aspects. "Feel good" Christianity.

The traditional protestant churches are diminishing in strength, numbers and cohesion.

Look at the percent in the younger ages among mainline protestants: http://religions.pewforum.org/pdf/co...Traditions.pdf
