White Christians are, in effect, engaged in a herculean struggle to maintain political power.

As recently as 2008, when our first Black president was elected, the U.S. was a majority (54 percent) white Christian country, Jones wrote. By 2014, that proportion had dropped to 47 percent. Today, the 2022 Census of American Religion shows that figure has dropped further to 42 percent.

The Southern Baptist Convention, Jones continued, the largest white evangelical denomination, has now lost more than 3 million members since its peak in the early 2000s.
