The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

very concerned about the number of christians in Europe thought the years, specially in scandinavian countries who don't recognize their church as an "state church" and the rest of the Porvoo Communion, and thats different from England who are keeping bishops from the Church of England, witch I'm member despite of being brazilian, on the House of Lords. I'm not talking about culture or skin color, but about religion, the church and its preservation by the state.

I also see a freaky downgrade on the number of roman catholic christians in France and Germany, and a significant growth of non-religious people and muslims. I believe pic related explains itself, I really want the opinion of our scandinavian, french and german users.

I may talk about christianity out of Europe later.

This has been happening for two centuries. It's old news.

I worry about our European brothers. The Bible does say, though, that in the End Times there would be a great falling away, and I fear that it may be drawing near. I hope not to derail the thread, but I took the liberty of charting the Christian population demographics of my country (Australia) to see what can be discovered. I'm saddened, to say the least. The last known figures are from 2016, so I included a 5-year forecast (until when the next census is due).

>Data source: Census results, with inter-year figures extrapolated from averages.

There is nothing that can be done. Literally hundreds of millions live totally reprobate lives and, barring a miracle from God, are hellbound. The entire culture of the modern world—the linguistic, artistic and vocational landscape of most peoples' entire lived experience—is aimed towards sin and death. That you assume I can do something about this is complete stupidity. We can only live out virtue in our own lives and hope others, via the principle of attraction, come aboard. Especially as Christians, we cannot force others to do as we do, we can only hope and pray and lead by example.

Ehh, I'm not concerned/I can't change it.

The collapse of Christendom in the East resulted in communism and mass murder for nearly a whole century; the collapse of western Christianity is going to be far, far worse. Orthodoxy is more easygoing and mystical, less politically active, more prone to self-doubt (not in the sense of unfaithfulness to Christ, but I speak here of doubt concerning personal motivations) all of which meant that radicalism had no cultural precedent in the east, it had to be imported from Germany in the form of Marx.

Western Christianity, in my experience as a westerner, is far less circumspect. Western society at large shares this tendency to be far more impulsive, sure of itself and less mystical and more literal. This has been true for longer than any of us have lived.

If the people of Russia went stark raving mad according to Dostoevsky leading up to the October Revolution, a modern, atheistic westerner is basically held together psychically each day by an internet connection and energy drinks.

There is no more quaint 1950's-esque "fabric of society" now there is a diverse "patchwork" to use the standard bullshit expression for the nightmarish reality of a society where nobody likes each-other or has anything in common. But patchwork breaks easily under strain
