Christianity's not exactly shrinking so much as it's shifting.

Christianity: "I was in the pool! I was in the pool!"

I don't have figures. This article may give you some idea.

If you look at what's happened since Spinoza first said, "Hey, wait a minute!" in the mid-Seventeenth Century Christianity's decline has been deadly.

Surely you can find some charts or figures for such an important trend.

Not off your NOSE, per se, but covenant people have been known to lose skin.

I was trying to exhibit circumspect behavior given the highly sensitive topic.

The article has a lot of figures on this very subject. For example, it goes through a series of facts and figures and then concludes that "unbelief" is a faster growing ideology than Islam or Christianity ever were.

unbelief in what? everything?

unbelief in everything but helping corporations get around environmental laws, like you do?

I know that the Rockys and IPUs love it when corporations get around environmental laws with the help of lawyers, but that's the kind of belief system that I find worth mocking, not Mormonism.
