Mike Johnson seems to have forgotten he's been elected to public office, not to church leadership. Conflating the two violates our First Amendment right to freedom of conscience.

"Just consider the frightening drop in church attendance over the past several decades", yes because people see it for the crap that it is. Please keep using religion for you own personal gain so that more people are exposed and leave religion thus leaving all those that try to use it that way powerless.

It probably doesn't help that god didn't smite any of those assholes speaking in his name on Sunday and raping children (often of the same sex) the rest of the week. Tends to hurt attendance when the big boss doesn't take charge where the rubber meets the road.
