In response to Mike Johnson recently becoming the new House speaker, over 12,000 people have signed a Christian petition condemning the congressman as a “false prophet” among other Republican Party members.
Faithful America, an online Christian group that supports social justice causes, released their second-annual “False Prophets Don’t Speak for Me” campaign featuring a list of top Christian-nationalist leaders in both church and politics along with a petition on Tuesday. The list, which in addition to Johnson, identifies former President Donald Trump, pastor Mark Burns, self-proclaimed prophet affiliated with the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) Julie Green, Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Ohio Representative Jim Jordan, conservative activist and radio talk show host Charlie Kirk, pastor Jackson Lahmeyer, Texas’ Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, Archbishop Carlo Viganò, self-proclaimed prophet affiliated with NAR Lance Wallnau, and co-founder of Moms for Liberty and school board chair in Sarasota, Florida, Bridget Ziegler as “false prophets.”
that number has been dropping consistently since the 90’s, at a rate of about 1%/year. a quick estimate for % of America that’s christian is 85% - years since 2000. less than half of Americans are a member of a religious congregation today
I live in Utah and less and less people are identifying as Mormon here. It’s actually less than you’d think, something like 43% maybe. My ancestor was a famous Mormon pioneer, but I don’t consider myself mormon, I’m not religious at all. And we have a huge influx of people now from other states, seeking job opportunities. We have a lot of jobs, but they’re all pretty low paying but I think that’s why our local numbers of folk identifying as religious are dropping so much.
