By the time most of us are in our 50s-60s will the Black Church still exist?

[Apollo Creed]

I was talking to my girl about this. I don't know anyone in my age bracket on the path to become a pastor or whatever, most people I know only go to church for their parents, or to impress a woman or something. I do not believe Blacks will all be atheist but I think most of our generation that do choose to believe in a "Creator" will more so be focused on spirituality than the ritualistic traditions that come with the Black Church. I think the simple combo of us realizing the Black Church/ Church in general has been keeping us weak + the combo of the increase in Gays in the black community who are turned off by the "conservative" nature of the Black Church, it will see a decline. Hell if you go to a black church now its filled with old women, only youth you see are usually there because of fam, or if they are there many show lack of interest in what is being told by the pastor.

Thoughts?

This thread isn't to bash religion, bash people who believe in a "creator", etc. Just want to know if you think the Black Church will still have the strong hold it does.

Yes. There are many small towns that havnt been corrupted by fakkits and government money. The black church in major cities will face greater corruption but the root will always remain.

I think it will exist, but not to the extent that it does today, I can't speak for all black people of my generation, but it seems a lot of black millennials are choosing agnostic/atheism, or if they are Christian, aren't as devout as our parents/grandparents were

They are currently dying out. That's churches in general.

I'm not sure how the black millenial generation feels about church. They probably Are indifferent like me and prefer to worship in private.

look how big some black churches are, its not gonna die out in 30-40 years thats way too early lol

the numbers will dwindle though. I can imagine a rise in islam though.

A lot of kids only go to church cause their parents force them to go.

For you old as nikkas thats only like 10 years from now, wtf you mean "most of us" lmao

It'll definitely exist, that institution will not crumble since it is a foundation of the community. Regardless of what your views are, it was central to many movements, black folks were planning movements and strategizing in there.
