I have read that the center of gravity of Christianity is moving south (mostly due to Africa).
That's been happening for a long time. Sometime while I was still forced to go to church, i.e. 30 plus years ago, the African Lutheran population surpassed the U.S. and European Lutheran population combined, or at least so said very pleased missionaries.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
