The End of Christian America

“The End of Christian America.”

A little hyperbolic, perhaps, but nevertheless that’s the title of the recent Newsweek story.  It’s attracted the attention of national radio host Hugh Hewitt, and he (like me) is skeptical of Newsweek’s position.  He writes on his blog:

When 4,000 jam the gym at Biola University to see a debate between William Lane Craig and Christopher Hitchens (with thousands more in overflow rooms and remote broadcast sites), I suspect…that the Newsweek headline writer wasn’t very concerned with the substance of the Jon Meacham story so much as he was with selling magazines.  There is an enormous, exploding interest in faith –and in the new atheists etc– and the technology now available allows for an era that Dr. Thomas P.M. Barnett predicts will see the “Greatest Awakening.” (A transcript of one conversation in which Dr. Barnett discusses this prediction is here.) [emphasis added]

Hugh is devoting all non-guest segments of his show this week to talking about the “religious trajectory of America.”  It should be a very interesting week of content.
