1. I think you're giving Darwin way too much credit. Yes, evolution has had an effect on Christianity, but there are other factors as well.
2. It wouldn't surprise me if Christianity all but dies out. Jesus asked, When the Son of Man returns, will he find faith on the earth? Seems to be a rhetorical question indicating that no, there won't be much Christian faith left. I accept the rapture, but I think it will be a far smaller event than is sometimes portrayed in books and films.
3. Your view is mainly Western. Worldwide, by 2050 Christianity is supposed to still be the largest religion. In that time, unaffiliateds are projected to decrease. Islam is the big winner. People crowing now are going to be missing Christianity as Islam takes over.
