As Christianity declines in Europe, Islam grows. I can't see that ending well.
Either way, things will eventually go back to the way they were 50 years ago.
Seems to be the nature of man. And like it or not, but a religious force is more powerful than the non religious force. It's what gives men courage when in battle. You think the militaries around the world would be as strong as they are without a belief in a higher power to help them get through the worst of the worst?
I think Christianity is dying everywhere. Christianity played a huge role in history, but will play no role in the future.
Good? Bad? No, it's just a thing.
I'm sure people said the same thing about the Jews at one time, and now look at them. They own and control some of the biggest corporations in the world.
Christianity has been around for over 2000 years and you think a couple of computer nerds are going to put an end to it? LMAO!

With such a faith as this a people might be governed by a wardship of parishes, and would walk contentedly and humbly under the guiding hand of its spiritual pastor submitting to the dispositions of God upon earth. This is the reason why IT IS INDISPENSABLE FOR US TO UNDERMINE ALL FAITH, TO TEAR OUT OF THE MIND OF THE "GOYIM" THE VERY PRINCIPLE OFGOD-HEAD AND THE SPIRIT, AND TO PUT IN ITS PLACE ARITHMETICAL CALCULATIONS AND MATERIAL NEEDS.
Or a way for them to try to explain away what were inexplicable events at the time.
The majority of them now explained, i.e, rain, droughts, thunder and lightning, illness, etc.
Doubtful that all these secluded people all had nearly the same beliefs of one holy spirit. It's not no coincidence. It's by divine designs.
Just like we have cave painting all over the world of dragons. They were considered a myth too because no one seen such a thing, but then when the first dinosaur bones were discovered, it opened up a whole new world.

Christianity will continue to decline and may even disappear completely from the political scene.
Don't know what that has to do with your computer nerd, though.
No it's not a myth. The chance that even isolated people like the Native Americans, or the Aboriginals from Australia to the Sentinelese all believe in some kind of God shows that there are higher powers at work.
"Believing in God" is not synonymous with being a Christian.
Many people believe in God but reject nearly all Christian teachings concerning the nature of God. Your above mentioned Native Americans believed in God long before there was Christianity.

How about "a higher power" and even in many instances "powers" plural, not necessarily "God"
By the “west” I mostly mean Europe. There is no doubt that Christianity has played a major role when it comes to Europe’s art, lifestyle, politics and etc. But of course, it is now decreasing. Even the people who call themselves Christians are mostly nominal. In your opinion, is that a good or bad thing?
When God is kicked out of a persons life it then becomes a vessel of satan. This is why corruption is so rampant these days. They have no soul. No core values of truth, integrity, or moral conviction. It is all gone and they become the corrupt person they are when they replace God with their own belief system called secular humanism.
We are and have been corrupt from the beginning and the only thing that keeps us from full out evil and hell is the spirit of God. When that is all gone , it is replaced with lies, murders, and no man is held accountable for their transgressions. This is today. The press has no moral code anymore. They lie and manipulate . No standards anymore.
Communism is godless. It is corrupt with power and money at the core . When Lucifer wanted to become higher than God and take the power God had war in heaven and cast satan out . The rebellious angels , one third followed satan.
Lucifer can change himself into an angel of light but he is really hell bent to kill , steal and destroy God's creation. This is total rebellion.
We have today a world in which good is presented as bad and bad is presented as good. Our conscience is seered that man can rationalize any action as good when it is pure evil in its action of gaining power through lies and manipulation. We see that in full force today.
It is an evil world and getting more divided and the ideas of today are so outlandish. Division over everything and it is getting worse. Putting everyone in categories and creating such hate and resentment.
We used to come together in sports arenas, in common brotherhood of mankind. Today the actions of many are to hate and divide. They constantly attack that which is good and hold up what is evil. God is never mocked. It is man that is destroying themselves.
I think western cultured humans have become so tired of the corruption, hypocrisy, controversies, and conflicting doctrines in much of organized Christian religions and denominations, that many without knowing it have become closer to being Deists — a belief in God (even Jesus) but based on rational thought and experience opposed to based on miracles, myths, or man made religious doctrines.
Western Christianity is full of false doctrine and this is a major reason for its current decline. However, its false doctrines will bring it back with a vengeance again before it is completely destroyed.
