MD, while agree with what you wrote, IMHO I'm not sure many of them, at least the ones I know, (who BTW are lliving good, whoesome, and responsible lives and doing their best to help others) want to send a message to the hierarchy, but it is just that the church doesn't mean anything to them anymore. Many were raised with the notion of they had to go to church because it was a sin to miss it, etc, so they just quit. #4 & 5 are on target.
