A new survey shows 34 million Americans, or 15 percent of the population, say they have no religion.
Even more significant is that one-third of those, about 11 million people, are Irish Americans.
The survey by professors at Trinity College in Hartford, CT, does not explain why Irish Catholics are by far the highest number of people who are losing their religion every year in America.

Those denominations which have joined affinity with ROME in their false ecumenism have effectively turned their back on the TRUTH and embraced “another gospel” (Gal. 1:6-8)
“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” (Rev. 18:4)
God's Word defines true ecumenism as unity in the Gospel of our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ – See John 17
John, it is my prayer, and I'm sure the prayer of others who comment here as well, that you too would hear the voice of our blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ . . . .
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matt. 11:28-30) ********* June, a former R.C. converted to Christ "by his grace", "by the washing of rengeneration and the renewing of the Holy Ghost" Eph. 2:2-8; Titus 3:3-7 to His praise & glory alone! Eph. 1:3-6

JY Here are some in the Bible who have a DIFFERENT jesus. (According to Jesus)
Matt 7:21 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
They thought they were saved too. Wrong!
JY, Lots of people come to church - BUT don't come to Christ!
John Yurich USA wrote: Do you Evangelical Protestants on here believe that the Lutheran Church(All branches) has a different jesus?
The standards are the same for them as for anyone, John. See what this John has to say:
John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments."
John 14:23 . "Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him."
John 15:14 "Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you."
John 8:51 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death."
So you see that it is more than believing in the Trinity, or that Jesus is real, that determines whether a church or denomination has a different Jesus. If they claim to be Christian, claim belief in the Trinity, yet do not keep Jesus' words, or that which was written of him by his apostle friends, they have a different Jesus. Therefore they are not his friends, they do not love him, they do not have life, and if they do not have life, and continue to deny him by disobedience, they have no hope.
Hello! Nothing per se is wrong with creeds but they are general in nature.
The Apostles Creed simply mentions the forgiveness of sins.
- What has/does Rome teach concerning this doctrine from its councils, bulls, catechisms, etc.?
The Nicene Creed states a baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
- Rome blasphemes the name of Christ by stating that this type of holy water enables one to become a member of the Church of Christ!!!
Rome is totally like the other cults in that they deny the Jesus of the Bible! They have a different Christ of their own invention.
Btw, I have witnessed to Rome's adherents (similarly, they all believe in varying amounts of Rome's multitude of teachings - few if any believe in them all, eg. regular auricular confession), including priests.
NONE of Rome's teachers believe that Jesus death was the propitiation for our sins.
The Samaritan wells daughter. What had Jesus brought her???
Ah, John Y., if a church rejects the five solas, [URL=http://www.monergism.com/updates/reformation_essentials_by_mich.php]]]"Only Scripture," "Only Christ," "Only Grace," "Only Faith," and "To God Alone Be Glory"[/URL], and the Roman Catholic Church rejects all of them, it doesn't matter what else it believes in, it is a whore church that preaches [URL=http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=5504151546]]]The Doctrine of Apostates[/URL].

John
Go read the pamphlet below as such is the belief of ALL Bible believing Christians who follow the scriptures alone. I see you slander again with your nameless 'brother' being your only authority-how do we know he isn't insane and psychotic BTW
The Holy Spirit leads into ALL TRUTH...your brother is thus far ignorant of the Holy Scriptures. Your own comments do not suggest you have the Holy Spirit as your own guide.
'Ye shall know them by their fruits'
Go read the pamphlet and please come back with some sensible comment-bring your brother into the conversation too, but after he has read the same

Oh dear, John Yurich.......
I met a devout Catholic lady when out witnessing in Dawlish, Devon. I asked her if she'd ever RECEIVED JESUS AS HER SAVIOUR, to which she replied, "Oh yes!"
When I asked her when that was, she replied, "Only this morning."
When I asked her how it came about about, she replied, "Oh I always receive Jesus as my Saviour whenever I attend Mass."
What!!!!
She has a biscuit as a Saviour?
Fat lot of good that will do her, and I told her so. I also informed her that her beloved pope was antichrist, and that her religion would never save her, rather that she was deceived by a bunch of money grubbers, who had entrapped her into believing error.
She took some offense at that, even though I was seeking to be gracious in informing her of the truth.
But I do hate it when evil religious groups take not only themselves to hell, but also many many others.

Stop being so illogical. Roman Catholicism is totally different from Hinduism, Islam and Buddhism because Roman Catholicism does and has always acknowledged the Deity Of Jesus and the Holy Trinity. Whereas Hinduism, Islam and Buddhism all deny the Deity Of Jesus and the Holy Trinity. And Roman Catholicism does not have a different jesus because the Apostles and Nicene Creeds state "WE BELIEVE IN ONE LORD JESUS CHRIST THE ONLY SON OF GOD" which is the biblical and historical Jesus that Roman Catholicism believes in and worships. So knock off this insanity that Roman Catholicism has a different jesus. Sure there are some unscriptural Catholic doctrines and Catholicism does not teach that salvation comes from receiving Jesus as ones Savior but that does not mean that Catholicism is entirely false. It is only partially false. My Born Again Non Denominational brother does not believe that the Catholic Church has a different jesus because he is not insane and psychotic.
“Empty pews: Catholics are fleeing the Church in record numbers - particularly Irish American Catholics. . . . . . . the church has responded so poorly since the scandals began that it is hardly surprising that people are leaving.”
'The Massive Scale of Child Abuse by Priests in Ireland' by Shaun Willcock
“And for the true Christian, it must always be remembered that even if millions of Roman Catholics ultimately rejected their religion, this is not the same as conversion to Christ!
And this is the great challenge for true Christians! – to seek to show these poor disillusioned people that the “Church” of Rome is not the Church of Christ! It is a false religion, no different from Hinduism, Islam, or Buddhism. Its “christ” is not the Christ of God, its priests are not the ministers of the Lord, its way of salvation is not the biblical way of salvation.”
June, a former R.C. Converted to Christ by His glorious gospel of grace (Rom. 1:16)
