The United States is no longer a majority white, Christian country, and that is already beginning to have profound social and political implications. At 45 percent of the population, white Christians are a shrinking demographic—and the backlash from many members of the group against the increasing diversification of America has been swift and bitter. “People fight like that when they are losing a sense of place, a sense of belonging, and a sense of the country that they understand and love,” says Robert P. Jones, the author of 'The End of White Christian America,' in this animated interview. “How do they reengage in public life when they can’t be the majority?”

Anyone remember 5 years ago when this was a "racist conspiracy theory"?

I don't see American being a country at all for much longer. We're in massive debt and have nothing in common.

Humza Yousaf, the Pakistani First Minister of Scotland, openly talks about changing the demographics of the country. It's become very obvious at this point.

The problem with this scenario is not everyone is particularly religious but see Christianity as a cultural identity and will default back to their cultural identity. Not believing in Christianity is one thing....but an attack on Christianity would be seen as a cultural attack...even atheist would side with Christianity if they believe their cultural identity is being attacked. Example: I'm not particularly religious but if someone attacked my grandmother because of her belief in Christianity it would make me hostile towards them regardless of my own beliefs.
