In America yes. But worldwide unfortunately because population growth in developed parts of the world is much lower than in the developing world, which is statistically far more religious, this trend will reverse soon

This is true.

I don't understand why you would expect them to be fully supportive of religion when most Christian churches reject them and actively seek to discriminate them

This is true but those countries will eventually leave it behind too. It's just a matter of waiting, really.

In terms of church attendance in the EU, it's like people only show up when they want to mark an important event in their life to have more show, presence, personal touch,... than only queuing and being processed like cattle in the city or town hall.

72% has a member card and the majority only dust it off for a few moments in their life.

Like it's said that the K of "Katholieke school" actually stands for Kwaliteit (quality). Kids are sent to catholic schools because the other schools provide a lower level of education and don't instil discipline (by letting them hang around the school and do whatever they want to do).

The catholic schools aren't what they used to (attending early morning service and collecting stamps was a requirement), nowadays it's sufficient to be able to reproduce the teaching at the exams. They can't force you to believe, if you don't want to.

It might look Christian from the outside, while the percentage of people still practising is small.

Yet most of them swear on respecting Islam and its teaching. It's plain to see that this site has some vendetta against Christians yet swear on most Muslims being peaceful and tolerant. This thread is laced with bigotry and hypocrisy and nothing else.

People can sit and celebrate the "death" of Christanity all they want, but it's only being replaced with the growth of Islam.

!!

It's understandable to differentiate peaceful muslims from the extremists who take the text too literally. But Islam is still a very totalitarian religion. In many countries where it is the law of the land, you either follow it or die. The religion takes rights from women, lgbt, etc. Then they want to wonder why more people gravitate towards the freer nations in the world.

Why it shouldn't?
Christianity made USA the great country the is today

because she is the voice of our generation! being on The Voice helps too

It's deeply tied in with patriotism and you know how proud Americans can be. God bless America!!

This.

Not surprising to see the same people spewing hate.

People identify as Christian but it doesn't mean that they are practicing.

Some much newer countries are getting close to a majority of non-religious people and Christianity has become a minority.



The Christian % is less than 49%. There are other religions in New Zealand, so the total % having no religion is about 42% and might not reach 50% for some time. In Australia it's closer to European numbers (61% Christian). The no religion percentage is increasing there too.

OMG yes.

Like, ya'll are so afraid to sound racist speaking against Muslims when in fact their views on gays are much more harsh and consequential, but are ready to generalize and fabricate lies about Christianity at any given men.

I don't know WHAT country you're referring to but the United States doesn't fit that description at all.

Seriously not this argument again. Pathetic.

it's only the beginning, rise Christianity, rise!

You people act as if eliminating all religion in the world will help us evolve or some ****
