The Decline of Mainline Protestant Denominations
In this chapter, they discuss the decline of mainline Protestant denominations since the 1960s, highlighting that they now only represent about 10-13% of the population. They mention Ryan Burge, a researcher who has compiled surveys on this topic, and note that despite ideological differences, his statistics are still valid. They question why evangelicals continue to reinvent old ideas that have not yielded successful results in the past and consider the possibility that there may be a short-term mindset and a reluctance to address this issue deeply.
