The way people view religions today are completely different from what it used to be. The change has affected a lot of the major religions, such as Muslims, Buddhists, and the Christian faith.
Most of the Christians changed and some stayed with the old ways. “Our religions often stand for the very opposite of what their founders stood for,” notes Brian D. McLaren, a former preacher. “No wonder more and more of us who are Christians by birth, by choice, or both find ourselves shaking our heads and asking, ‘What happened to Christianity?’” Most of the ideologies of Christianity have been reformed to fit what the people want. Even those that say they are a Christian are mainly following a lie. Atheists, as well as those who feel spiritual but don't identify with a religion, are starting to be known as apart of a secular group called the "nones".
As of right now only one-half of the American Christians would be able to name at least four Gospels. About 41 percent would be able to tell you about Job. With all this, it is best belied to worry less about doctrines and worry more about actions. One big question that McLaren asks is: “Could Christians migrate from defining their faith as a system of beliefs to expressing it as a loving way of life?” The answer? Yes, a migration like this could take place, because religion can and does migrate. It would lead everyone away religious bureaucracy and back towards the original ways of the religion.
