In the UK christianity is effectively dead. The average age of the churchgoers is within 7 years of life expectancy and the gap is shrinking exponentially. Essentially the church stopped receiving new recruits in the 1940s and we're just waiting for the last of them to pop their clogs.
You should be able to tell how much life there is in any country's church by working out the average age of the people in the pews. If it's over 40 there isn't any fresh generation and the church is ultimately doomed.
The decline in the West seems to trace back to something called the 'Evangelical Revival' in the early 20th century, the effects of which have resulted in the population as a whole turning away from religion.
