- Arizhel 10y agoIt's the majority of Christians in America these days. It's not like all those mega-churches are mostly-empty on Sundays: they have thousands of people attending every week and pouring money into the coffers. And it's not like the tiny, little non-megachurches have somehow stuffed thousands of people into those little buildings.
- metaphorm 10y agoplurality probably, not majority. you're right though that they tend to be far more engaged with their religious community than other nominal Christians are.
- wl 10y agoThat would still be wrong. Prosperity theology is not particular to Southern Baptists and my experience is that most SBC churches oppose it. The most prominent manifestation would be the Word of Faith movement in charismatic circles.
