I think these next few years will be the last gasp for religion. This century will be about all the resources running out. When the oil runs out and we suddenly realise it's too late to find ways to share wealth and feed everybody nobody will give a shit about the bible thumper or the imam shouting in the corner. That's my opinion.
too many inaccuracies.

Could be what made the Brits look outside their island.
In the usa the fundies were also doing well.
More church going Christians in China than in Europe.
