I'm Bahai it's fairly new, only established around a century ago and we believe in ALL religions, which means we tolerate everyones beliefs and not just our own. We believe in the eradiction of racism, equality between men and women and world peace. What I love about our religion is that we believe in ALL religions-its not as if you say 'Im Christian' and you give us general information about your religion and we don't care and try and covert you-we listen and we understand because we believe in what you believe in aswell. The same goes for Muslims, Hindus, Budhists etc.
Infact, the son of our believer visted the US in the 19th or 20th century (can't remember exactly) along with many others including Europe and the UK.

Your number dwindles....all over the world. You just keep looking for that guy riding in on a cloud and see what it gets you. When I was a boy almost eighty years ago hiways had signs saying, "Jesus Is Coming Soon!" We also saw it painted on barn tops. That bull**** is on it's way out. Church membership and attendance are a reflection of intelligence. Most folks have given up on ancient fairy tales!

Revelation 17:1,15 shows that religious waters (people) would dry up spiritually.- Isaiah 57:20.
So, it should Not surprise us about Christendom's religious attendance - Matthew 7:21-23.
What is on the ' way out ' are the fake 'weed/tares' Christians at the soon coming time of separation - Matthew 25:31-33.

Wrong guesses about Jesus' coming (Matthew 24:36) does Not make the Bible wrong, just makes the guesses as wrong.

We are now nearing the ' final phase ' of Matthew 24:14, and nearing the ' final signal ' of 1 Thess. 5:2-3 when ' they ' (powers that be) will be saying, " Peace and Security " as the precursor to the coming great tribulation of Rev. 7:14 before Jesus, as Prince of Peace, ushers in global Peace on Earth among person's of goodwill - Matthew 25:37.

I am man-made religion-free and also have beliefs which may be termed spiritual. I share my values however, with many who do not tread my path. Most of my brothers, sisters, cousins, friends et al are some form of Christian or Agnostic.

But my brethren/kin all know that it is not our beliefs, or lack thereof, which defines us -- it's our actions and interactions.

We care about each other, others, and the planet more than we care about which god we do, or don't, believe in.

Actually, most of the world is religious.

Like I've already stated. I don't believe any ancient fairy tales. Even if you folks have your bible and testament it should fall on deaf ears after being sorted and revamped by the Roman emperor Constantine about 350-370 AD

Constantine definitely did a number on the NT, Helenizing it because he wanted to use it to start his own state religion, but he wasn't smart enough to go after the root with the same strength of purpose, thinking it didn't matter any more. But the root bears witness to the fruit, and vice versa. So using his works as a reason not to believe, is really not a good reason. Peace
