Kingdom Contradictions?

"So successful are some evangelicals that they're opening up branches like so many new Home Depots or Subways.... "For all their seemingly unstoppable success, evangelicals must contend with powerful forces in U.S. society. The ranks of Americans who express no religious preference have quadrupled since 1991, to 14%, according to a recent poll. Despite the megachurch surge, overall church attendance has remained fairly flat. And if anything, popular culture has become more vulgar in recent years." From Earthly Empires: How evangelical churches are borrowing from the business playbook, BusinessWeek (5/23/05)
