what could cause europe to go from 70% christian to a quarter christian and falling in three generations?
its not as if the bible changed, or jesus changed. its interdasting.
so what happened that might explain christianity dying out? it really makes ya think
you could make christianity illegal essentially, like in the eastern bloc, but that doesnt stop someone from actually believing in jesus, so we would expect to see a resurgence once the communist bloc fell, so its not that. we saw two world wars, and lots of christians died, but these are overall percentages, not raw numbers, and those who died would have still had families, children who grew up and persisted, wives back at home, etc. the churches are still there, albeit empty ghost towns, they still operate.
so what is it? muslim invaders can only explain a small fraction of that, and its trajectory doesnt correlate with the muslim and african migrations, but rather seems to have been in full effect prior to, and throughout that period.
and the same argument with the migrants applies to vatican tooo also, which occurred later on in the process around the 60s i think, and still would only even account for catholics, and this decline was already in full effect
what could it be then?
what do you think can explain such a radical shift?
