Quote:This apparent stability in the percentage of the global population that is Christian masks a momentous shift. Although Europe and the Americas still are home to a majority of the world’s Christians (63%), that share is much lower than it was in 1910 (93%). And the proportion of Europeans and Americans who are Christian has dropped from 95% in 1910 to 76% in 2010 in Europe as a whole, and from 96% to 86% in the Americas as a whole.
At the same time, Christianity has grown enormously in sub-Saharan Africa and the Asia-Pacific region, where there were relatively few Christians at the beginning of the 20th century. The share of the population that is Christian in sub-Saharan Africa climbed from 9% in 1910 to 63% in 2010, while in the Asia-Pacific region it rose from 3% to 7%.

Jesusism always grows where ignorance prevails. That's why it is headed for the trash heap in Europe and starting to fold even in the good ole US of A.
What you're saying is that the people in Western Europe and the US are much more intelligent than the ignorant savages in the rest of the world even though we've become stagnant while other parts of the world are gaining on us. Our best years were during the last five centuries when we were overwhelmingly christian.
