Each year around Christmas time, we Christians witness an insidious assault on the Baby Jesus, the Nativity Scene and increasing volume on the War against the Cross. It is absolutely incredibly that so-called “educated and enlightened” people, liberals and academics would work themselves up to hypertension and worse over two pieces of wood, planted on top of a mountain outside Jerusalem in 33 AD.

That is, until we realize what these pieces of wood and the nine inch nails which held them together, signify. It was on this tree, in the shape of a Cross, that God Himself literally gave the mortal side of His Life, for all humanity to be reconciled unto Him – the Eternal. God. This is absolutely something which those who are lost forever cannot comprehend.

In case they are wondering, this is against Whom the godless are fighting against, choosing NOT to know it: “Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped,  but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.  Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross….(Philippians 2:5-8).

In the Book of Acts, when the Pharisees were debating increasing persecution of Christians, one of their own leaders warned them here: “So in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action is of men, it will be overthrown; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may even be found fighting against God.”…Acts 5:38-39. Of course, these people did not listen to Gamaliel, their great rabbi. They WERE fighting against God Himself, in the Form of the Resurrected Jesus Christ and His budding church movement!  Today, almost 2000 years later, nothing has really changed. It is not the simple act of removing a Cross from a Christmas tree in Indiana. It is not attempting to remove Crosses from veterans’ cemeteries or on top of a hill in California. It is not banning Christmas songs in public schools or taking Charlie Brown posters off middle school doors in Texas. It is not casting away Nativity scenes from the public arena and disappointing entire large groups of citizenry.

As if we needed more proof that the America, on which this country was founded, has turned its back on God, the Gallup polling organization has confirmed it with its annual long at the state of America’s dark soul.

In the just released survey of all 50 states, some not so surprising news turned up. The country which was founded and built on the Bible, Biblical principles and prayer had its foundations set in the New England region in the early 1600’s. Yet, within the first 100 years of civilization on this continent, God had to send revivalists like George Whitefield and Jonathan Edwards to preach the Gospel (again) as decline had already set it! So it is now, absolutely NO shock, that the most pagan parts of America can be found in every single state in New England. Of course, we know God has His people everywhere. I know of solid Christians and those who are ministering in Bible-believing congregations in Boston, the Berkshires and a good friend of our ministry over in Salem, Oregon among the few other outposts of God’s Kingdom out there and in Alaska.

Therefore, without further ado, here are the least “religious” states of the United States of America:
