Is America in the midst of a religious revival? That’s the question I seek to answer in an interview with Mark Tooley, one of the top thinkers on religion and public life in the United States.  In the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, social media has been replete with stories of Americans reconnecting with Christianity. And it’s not just anecdotes. There is data showing annual U.S. Bible sales are up 41.6% since 2022.  That’s coupled with an approximately 50% increase of contemporary Christian music streams on Spotify since 2019, according to numbers compiled by music industry data provider Luminate. There has also been a 79.5% increase in religion and spirituality app downloads since 2019, based on information provided by Sensor Tower.  Tooley is the president of the Institute on Religion and Democracy. The IRD is an ecumenical think tank that advocates for the renewal of historic Christian teaching in churches and society. Founded during the Cold War, the institute has also been a prominent proponent of democratic values, especially through its foreign policy and national security journal, Providence.  Tooley joined IRD in 1994 to lead its project to revive United Methodism, and since then he has had a front row seat to observe religious trends in the United States and abroad. I asked him what he is seeing on the ground as the head of a major Christian institution. He explained that among the young people he talks to, admittedly a self-selected group, he has noticed a renewed interest in religion. “Two years ago, I spoke to conservative campus groups at an Ivy League school, where it seemed everybody was religious. Ten or 20 years ago, that would not have been the case,” he told The Daily Signal, adding, “They would have been more libertarian.” I asked him what it would take to see a major revival in the United States. Tooley noted that most revivals are localized, such as the one at Asbury University a few years ago.   “If there is long term revival in America, it might be a mass reaction against secularism and a new search for stability and purpose,” Tooley speculated. “There are short term upticks in church attendance after unsettling events like 9/11. If there is long term revival in America, it might be a mass reaction against secularism and a new search for stability and purpose,” he explained. The think tank leader pointed out that some people are seeking guidance from online sources as opposed to their local churches. Tooley cautioned against that approach. “It’s hard to see a sustainable spirituality enduring without institutional community. As a Christian [Methodist], I don’t think you can have deep Christianity without the church,” he stated. As a committed Methodist who attended a Jesuit university, I was curious if Tooley saw a liturgical divide among the Americans seeking out Christianity. In other words, are young people really becoming Catholic? “For several decades there has been a trend of educated young Protestants, and some older ones, who become Catholic or Eastern Orthodox because they offer rich intellectual traditions with liturgy and sacrament. But these conversions are not so widespread as to register in public polling,” he wrote to The Daily Signal.  “There is also a smaller trend of educated young Protestants, seeking a richer tradition and traditional worship, becoming Anglicans. But again, these numbers are small,” he continued, adding, “The trend in U.S. Christianity continues to be toward nondenominational Christianity that is decidedly non-liturgical.” Pew Research Center reported in 2025 that nondenominational Christians are now 7% of the U.S. adult population, which is the sole group of Protestants that composes a larger share of the population than it did during the first religious landscape survey conducted by the group. Finally, I asked the longtime advocate of Christian ethics what was one thing he hoped a revival would accomplish in America.  “With repentance comes humility with greater desire to serve others. I hope a revival in America would ameliorate polarization, facilitate greater social harmony, and renew commitment to and gratitude for our democratic republic,” Tooley concluded.

Senator Jon Ossoff’s refusal to end the government shutdown has left Georgia’s airports in chaos, federal workers unpaid, and military families in distress—all while Democrats demand billions for health care subsidies that would benefit illegal immigrants. Shutdown Fallout in Georgia The federal government shutdown, now in its second week, has hit Georgia harder than most states due to its large federal workforce and the critical role of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the busiest in the world. Over 110,000 Georgia federal employees—including TSA agents, air traffic controllers, and military families—are going without paychecks, while travelers face increasing delays and cancellations as essential staff are stretched thin. The human toll is real: families are struggling to make ends meet, and the state’s aviation sector is under unprecedented strain. Rep. Mike Collins, a Republican challenger for Ossoff’s Senate seat, has seized on the crisis with a hard-hitting digital ad campaign. Collins accuses Ossoff of prioritizing “free healthcare for illegal immigrants” over reopening the government, a charge that resonates with conservatives frustrated by years of unchecked immigration and fiscal mismanagement. The ad highlights the direct consequences of the shutdown on Georgia’s workers and travelers, framing Ossoff’s stance as out of touch with the needs of everyday Americans. Political Blame Game Intensifies The core dispute centers on whether to extend Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) subsidies in any spending bill. House Republicans passed a short-term funding extension without the subsidies, but Senate Democrats—including Ossoff—have repeatedly voted against it, demanding the subsidies be included. Ossoff’s campaign has pushed back, accusing Collins of using the shutdown to distract from other issues and criticizing House Republicans for their absence from Washington during the crisis. Meanwhile, some Democrats and independents have broken ranks, voting with Republicans to end the stalemate, but the Senate majority has held firm. Collins has taken his message directly to Ossoff’s constituents, appearing at the senator’s Atlanta office to deliver a symbolic “pink slip” and amplify his criticism. “Crucial air traffic controllers are working without pay, travelers are facing delays, and government workers face uncertainty because Ossoff and Schumer are playing political games with our government,” Collins said in a statement. The messaging is clear: Georgia’s pain is a direct result of Democratic intransigence and misplaced priorities. Economic and Electoral Consequences The immediate impact of the shutdown is severe. Atlanta’s airport, a linchpin of the Southeast’s economy, is experiencing significant operational disruptions, with experts warning that unpaid staff could compromise safety and efficiency. The economic ripple effects are being felt across the state, from small businesses that depend on airport traffic to families struggling with missed paychecks. If the ACA subsidies expire, over a million Georgians could face higher health insurance premiums—a potential long-term consequence that adds urgency to the debate. Politically, the shutdown has become a defining issue in the lead-up to the 2026 Senate race. Collins and other Republicans are framing Ossoff as responsible for the disruption, while Ossoff is betting that voters will blame Republicans for refusing to extend health care subsidies. The outcome could hinge on whether Georgians see the shutdown as a failure of leadership or a necessary stand against fiscal irresponsibility and government overreach.

Federal workers and their families are caught in the middle, with no clear end in sight. The only certainty is that the political stakes have never been higher—for Georgia, for Congress, and for the future of responsible governance in America.

Formed in Arlington, Texas, in 1981 by brothers Darrell Abbott and Vinnie Paul Abbott, along with bassist Rex Brown and vocalist Terry Glaze, the band began their journey as a glam metal act inspired by the dominant sounds of the early 1980s. Those early years, spent playing clubs throughout Texas and self-releasing albums on their own Metal Magic label, helped the group build an underground following while sharpening their sound and stage presence. They released four independent albums during that period, including Metal Magic in 1983, Projects in the Jungle in 1984, and I Am the Night in 1985, before The post Complete List Of Pantera Songs From A to Z appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.
