Evangelical Polling Outfit Ranks "Post-Christian" Cities



The Christian Post reports:

The Northeastern part of the United States, once known as a bulwark of Puritans and other strict Christian sects, now dominates the top 10 list of the most “post-Christian” cities, according to a report by the Barna Group.

To fit Barna’s label of “post-Christian,” a respondent had to meet at least 13 of 16 listed criteria, which included not believing in God, not attended church in the past six months, never made a commitment to Jesus, not prayed to God in the past week, having not read the Bible at all in the last week, believe that Jesus was not sinless, and not consider faith important in their lives.

I would have liked to make a perfect score, but I have no idea if Jesus ever sinned.

started proclaiming that, not only did Jesus never sin, but he also never coughed, burped or passed gas.

That church has been defunct since 2003, after the pastor was excommunicated for sexual dalliance and wife beating.
