Posted on July 18, 2017 by David E Smith

A recent study by Barna reveals the truth about what the spiritual climate in America is currently like.

According to Barna, “To qualify as ‘post-Christian,’ individuals must meet nine or more of our 16 criteria… which identify a lack of Christian identity, belief and practice.
