Sociologist and researcher Amy Sherman has said that Christians tend to have 3 models for interacting with society: fortification, accommodation, and domination.

The Great Dechurching talks about how in the
last 25 years approximately 40 million Americans have gone from attending church regularly to attending church once a year. That number is greater than all conversions from the First Great Awakening, the Second Great Awakening, and every Billy Graham crusade combined.
