Media Manipulation and the Decline of Churches


In the past two decades, it has become increasingly apparent that numerous churches have experienced a decline, leading to closures and splits.

This essay explores the potential influence of media manipulation, self-censorship, and the alteration of religious texts in fostering this trend. Additionally, it addresses the reproach faced by those who dare to criticize such developments.
