Slightly related, according to Pew Research Center, religious aspects of Christmas are declining:
http://www.pewforum.org/2017/12/12/americans-say-religious-aspects-of-christmas-are-declining-in-public-life/ Not only are some of the more religious aspects of Christmas less prominent in the public sphere, but there are signs that they are on the wane in Americans private lives and personal beliefs as well. For instance, there has been a noticeable decline in the percentage of U.S. adults who say they believe that biblical elements of the Christmas story that Jesus was born to a virgin, for example reflect historical events that actually occurred. And although most Americans still say they mark the occasion as a religious holiday, there has been a slight drop in recent years in the share who say they do this. --- Woo! ... Copied to Clipboard!

America's culture has always been one of change. One which takes many cultures and mixes them together to create a unique one. To some older Americans this is scary as their idea of the American culture is changing before their eyes.

It comes down to pretty much one thing: Are we going to discount that some of the rabid Christians continue to kill their own religion? The ones who are anti-gay, anti-abortion, anti-science, and more aren't exactly drawing in the younger crowd, many of whom regard the rabid Christians as psychos. --- Woo! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't think Christianity is dying out just the super strict controlling biblical literate fundamental Christianity that controls the republican party is dying and is using it's death grip to try this take over before it dies. It's the diehards that are actually retaining more active membership as I recall, and the moderate sects/denominations are the ones hemorrhaging members. Though I reckon that can be traced towards the additional social/familial pressures put into place within the fundamental/overly zealous branches that eventually become core programming within the individual. --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! ...

something like 86% of the US identifies as "Christian", so there's still a long way to go.

The more educated people get, the more civilized we get as a society, and and the more we understand things we previously didn't have the education or resources to understand, the less likely we are to base it on the flying spaghetti monster in the sky.
That said, I also don't see theism as this evil cancer like many do. Like many issues in life, I feel like education, critical thinking skills, and tolerance are key. While I'm an atheist myself, I've volunteered at a ministry for some time and have seen many positive impacts from religion for certain people. They're also aware of my lack of belief and treat me just like everyone else with respect and kindness. --- "You need to lay off the peanut-butthurt and u-jelly sandwiches" - Neon Octopus ...

Christianity has been in decline since the turn of the 20th century and pointed out by one of the most notable philosophers, Nietzsche, of our time. This is not new, this is redundant.

Christianity is declining in the west, but it's growing massively still in the developing world, particularly South America and especially Africa.

I'd bet a lot of those are just people saying they're Christian because their family is Christian or were raised Christian but don't follow Christianity or go to church that much, if ever.
