Mankind will never be free from bias. It is inseparable from perspective. To argue otherwise implies a bias of its own.
Many explanations could be given for a decrease in church attendance. All of these explanations would be conveyed from a biased point of view.
Biased or not it makes no difference, people going to Sunday Services has been on a decline for decades and decades. Now I'm not saying they are not Christian, people just have found better things to do on Sundays.
Just look around at the membership where you worship, what's the average members age? 60? 65? 70? I sure it's up there.
It seems about every year or two in North Madison and Southern Grant County another Church closes and the building goes up for sale.
Heck even as big as Church of God is in Anderson it closed its North Church a few years ago from lack of attendance. It's hard to run a business when you can't pay the utilities.
