    (FB 1550269987 Timestamp) THE STATE OF RELIGION IN AMERICA (2014) The Christian share of the population is declining and the religiously unaffiliated share is growing in all four major geographic regions of the country. Religious “nones” now constitute 19% of the adult population in the South (up from 13% in 2007), 22% of the population in the Midwest (up from 16%), 25% of the population in the Northeast (up from 16%) and 28% of the population in the West (up from 21%). In the West, the religiously unaffiliated are more numerous than Catholics (23%), evangelicals (22%) and every other religious group. Whites continue to be more likely than both blacks and Hispanics to identify as religiously unaffiliated; 24% of whites say they have no religion, compared with 20% of Hispanics and 18% of blacks. But the religiously unaffiliated have grown (and Christians have declined) as a share of the population within all three of these racial and ethnic groups. The percentage of college graduates who identify with Christianity has declined by nine percentage points since 2007 (from 73% to 64%). The Christian share of the population has declined by a similar amount among those with less than a college education (from 81% to 73%). Religious “nones” now constitute 24% of all college graduates (up from 17%) and 22% of those with less than a college degree (up from 16%). More than a quarter of men (27%) now describe themselves as religiously unaffiliated, up from 20% in 2007. Fewer women are religious “nones,” but the religiously unaffiliated are growing among women at about the same rate as among men. Nearly one-in-five women (19%) now describe themselves as religiously unaffiliated, up from 13% in 2007. Although it is low relative to other religious groups, the retention rate of the unaffiliated has increased. In the current survey, 53% of those raised as religiously unaffiliated still identify as “nones” in adulthood, up seven points since 2007. And among Millennials, “nones” actually have one of the highest retention rates of all the religious categories that are large enough to analyze in the survey. As the ranks of the religiously unaffiliated continue to grow, they also describe themselves in increasingly secular terms. In 2007, 25% of the “nones” called themselves atheists or agnostics; 39% identified their religion as “nothing in particular” and also said that religion is “not too” or “not at all” important in their lives; and 36% identified their religion as “nothing in particular” while nevertheless saying that religion is either “very important” or “somewhat important” in their lives. The new survey finds that the atheist and agnostic share of the “nones” has grown to 31%. Those identifying as “nothing in particular” and describing religion as unimportant in their lives continue to account for 39% of all “nones.” But the share identifying as “nothing in particular” while also affirming that religion is either “very” or “somewhat” important to them has fallen to 30% of all “nones.” While the mainline Protestant share of the population is significantly smaller today than it was in 2007, the evangelical Protestant share of the population has remained comparatively stable (ticking downward slightly from 26.3% to 25.4% of the population). As a result, evangelicals now constitute a clear majority (55%) of all U.S. Protestants. In 2007, roughly half of Protestants (51%) identified with evangelical churches. Since 2007, the share of evangelical Protestants who identify with Baptist denominations has shrunk from 41% to 36%. Meanwhile, the share of evangelicals identifying with nondenominational churches has grown from 13% to 19%. The United Methodist Church (UMC) continues to be the largest denomination within the mainline Protestant tradition. Currently, 25% of mainline Protestants identify with the UMC, down slightly from 28% in 2007. More than six-in-ten people in the historically black Protestant tradition identify with Baptist denominations, including 22% who identify with the National Baptist Convention, the largest denomination within the historically black Protestant tradition. The share of the public identifying with religions other than Christianity has grown from 4.7% in 2007 to 5.9% in 2014. Gains were most pronounced among Muslims (who accounted for 0.4% of respondents in the 2007 Religious Landscape Study and 0.9% in 2014) and Hindus (0.4% in 2007 vs. 0.7% in 2014).12 Roughly one-in-seven participants in the new survey (15%) were born outside the U.S., and two-thirds of those immigrants are Christians, including 39% who are Catholic. More than one-in-ten immigrants identify with a non-Christian faith, such as Islam or Hinduism. Hindus and Jews continue to be the most highly educated religious traditions. Fully 77% of Hindus are college graduates, as are 59% of Jews (compared with 27% of all U.S. adults). These groups also have above-average household incomes. Fully 44% of Jews and 36% of Hindus say their annual family income exceeds $100,000, compared with 19% of the public overall.

    —“One doesn’t have to look hard in history to see how Christianity can serve all of the above groups at the same time in the same community. “—Andrew Gribble

    [N]o, because christianity requires you believe and testify to belief in magic man nonsense and while some people can do this in exchange for community comforts, the rest of us understand it is just fairy stories for the weak, for women, and children, to help them sleep at night despite their universal powerlessness. We can however understand the 5 rules of christianity, the 6 rules of heathenism, and the 8 rules of aryanism (our group’s strategy) as simply scientific, and we can thank our universe, our ancestors, and each other for creating and giving us all three, and train our children to likewise give thanks (carry the debt) of all three. Religions create debts that transfer between generations, and in doing so train one another to carry the same debts (behaviors). In exchange we obtain neural economy (reduction of problems in calculation), and trust economy, and political economy, by reducing internal conflicts to those counter to the debt structure and related payments (behaviors). This is the economics of religion. The problem is that stupid ignorant people need fairy stories and adults who have education and training simply need the truth: Heathenism of the universe, Aryanism of our people, Christianity of our social interactions. and Warriors as insurance of all of the above.

    The Heathen 6 rules The Aryan 8 rules The Christian 5 rules The Warrior 3 rules These are the 22 rules of western poly philosophical religion that I have been able to discover. I can refine them a bit. I can add the law. But this is what makes the west the west: 22 rules. The Oath of Transcendent Man

    (FB 1550424363 Timestamp) I care about preserving christianity’s 30,000 sects for christians and their globalist universalist equalitarian disease, advancing our natural religion of the hearth for heathens and nationalist, the sciences for the secularists, and the law for those of us who must rule. And let the market accommodate people’s needs. Christianity will be the feminine and underclass religion, heathenism masculine and middle class, and those of us with power and agency need none.

    (FB 1550420564 Timestamp) CHRISTIANS ARE NATURAL LEFTISTS Christians were always the ally of the left – there reason for the war against the south, the reason for immigration, the reason for ‘civil rights’. The christians only moved to the ‘right’ once they understood that the state wanted to become the new religion in the franco-jewish-soviet model. Christianity is not nationalist, is not particularist, is not masculine, is not heroic, is not militaristic, expansionary, truthful, sovereign. It’s antithetical to the west: a purely semitic cult. It was the church’s necessity of accommodating the aristocracy that made our people survive christianity and made the claims of something other than destruction of our people possible. They are not members of the libertarian or right. Instead, libertarians and the right give ‘nod’ to christians the way men give ‘nod’ to women, and value christianity the way men value women. But Christians are not ‘men’ , nor ‘european’ but simply semitic (female strategy) of resistance, undermining, and dysgenia.

    (FB 1550419699 Timestamp) CAN OUR PEOPLE SURVIVE WHILE ACCOMMODATING CHRISTIANITY? (NO) by Daniel Gurpide Is it possible to accommodate Christianity once the veil of ignorance has been torn asunder? Is it possible to teach the five core tenets which constitute the ‘optimum group strategy’, discard the rest of the claptrap, and still call that Christianity? Theoretically, yes; in practice, it is as easy as to reinsert a Champagne cork back into the bottle. Nowhere are the effects caused by the pursuit of the tenets of Jewish-Christian egalitarianism more existentially dramatic—because it threatens the very survival of the communities concerned—than in the demographic suicide now being committed by the West. The West faces massive Third World immigration, and high fertility rates combined with below-replacement white birth rates. As Lothrop Stoddard feared, a rising tide of colour is swamping the West; and it is guilt about the Third World which is the primary cause of mass immigration into Western lands. Comparison with Japan repays attention, for this Far Eastern country experiences the same economic conditioning as Europe or the United States, but has managed to control migratory fluxes remarkably well. Christianity is a derivative, a heresy, from Judaism, but it teaches Europe precisely the opposite lesson as far as ethnocentrism is concerned. In Christianity, European peoples cannot—as a people—have a relation with God: this is for the Jewish people alone. European people can have a relation with God only as individuals. Judaism is a religion for survival in a multicultural society. It is a religion for governing the behaviour of a Jewish minority in the presence of a non-Jewish majority. Christianity, on the other hand, is a religion for governing the behaviour of Christians in a homogeneous Christian society. In a multicultural society it becomes suicidal. The original meaning of the Latin word religio—from religare, to tie fast—was never used until Constantinian times to describe the ‘superstitio nova ac malefica’ represented by Christianity and has nothing to do with the metaphysical or fideistic concepts introduced by monotheism. It is simply what binds together the members of a political and ethno-cultural community. As such, religion has two aspects: the myth—the representation that we choose to have of our own past, and more generally of the universe, in relation to the future, the destiny that we want to create; and the rite—the evocation and celebration of our being together with the intention of provoking a general mobilisation of spirits. Historical consciousness is also part of human agency. It is time to choose!
