Well said, and a fitting first comment for you on Lemmy. Welcome.

This is such a great observation that it seems obvious as soon as I read it, but it didn’t occur to me at all, especially in the sense you have framed:
The decline of Christianity isn’t a dissipation, it’s a contraction towards the hard core.
Gaming that out leads to some pretty alarming scenarios, and that’s relative to the alarming scenario we are currently living through!
The very fact that there is such a thing as modern Atari is, frankly, confusing. I haven’t quite gotten over that revelation yet.
I think this is in reference to the type of drama more associated with YouTube, wherein an audio or video clip posted substantially contains copyrighted material in a way not covered by fair use.
I haven’t myself used Twitter since 2010 so I may be mistaken.
I suppose I’m a former actual Christian, raised in the church, homeschooled K-12, not SBC but not unfamiliar with it. Point is, I know enough to know that modern Christianity is the accumulation of a series of compromises, concessions, and reinterpretations of the eternal Word of God over the centuries.
Interpreted literally, that passage also outlaws woman from teaching even Sunday School, much less my mom from Home Schooling me. Certainly I should have been in authority over her by the time I was, what, 13?
So basically, I appreciate and respect the perspective, but I’m not entirely buying it as a rational explanation for this.
