The Pew Research Center on Religion & Public Life is reporting, in their poll of 35,000 Americans, that during the seven years from 2007 to 2014, the numbers of religiously "Unaffiliated" were soaring, the numbers of Christians were plunging, and the numbers of adherents to non-Christian faiths were rising substantially but not nearly as much as were the numbers of "Unaffiliated".
This report, issued on May 12th, is headlined, "America's Changing Religious Landscape: Christians Decline Sharply as Share of Population; Unaffiliated and Other Faiths Continue to Grow".
It shows that: the percentage of Americans who are unaffiliated rose from 16.1% in 2007 up to 22.8% today.
[...][The USA] is becoming a less [religious], and a more religiously diverse, country.

I take it you ignored the last part? Matthew 5:17-19, where Jesus himself says: "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven"
So sorry Charlie, you can try all the irrational rationalizations you want, but either you follow ALL the laws or you follow NONE of the laws, Jesus himself said so....which just FYI there is zero proof that the person called "Jesus" ever lived, and whole parts of the so called "story of Jesus" are lifted from Zoroaster, complete with raising the dead and turning water into wine, HAND.
ACs are never seen so don't bother. Always ready to show SJWs for the racists they are.

Much of the old testament wasn't God's law, but Jewish law. 12:31 -- "All manner ofsin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto me." John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
That is the foundation of the religion, that as long as you repent your sins you will be forgiven.
As to the existance of Jesus, historians disagree with you. The Bible isn't the only historical account. [wikipedia.org]
