Christianity now is a lot different than it was 100 years ago

Even the pope is tolerant of gay marriage IIRC

Well, let's see.... Abrahamic religions are divided into three major factions, which all splintered into smaller factions, all based on differing interpretations and events over a long period of time... So, yes.

It evolves to appeal to new comers unfortunately it's on a decline. People don't like the notion of expressing themself sexually and watching porn and being told that what they are doing is wrong. Exploring oneself sexually is perfectly normal.

Of course it does..

Just look at all the different Christian denominations with varying interpretations of the Bible.

If all the different brands of Christianity is not enough for you, what about Judaism -> Christianity -> Islam?

This topic is going to draw in a lot of antireligious people so I'll just say this.

There are people today who believe that religious books such as the Bible are fully literally true, but many do not. I don't actually know but I would think that the relevant % of religious people today who believe the Bible is fully literally true is less than ever. This means that the people who believe otherwise have to make interpretations for themselves and essentially adapt their religious believes to scientific discoveries that are made. So yes, religion does evolve because believers adapt their beliefs to the world and universe around them.

Just follow Hinduism since it's the oldest religion to date.

It does; but honestly its found its freedom more so than anything else - it was locked away for years by stupid people and utilized the most by those completely irresponsible

and it still continues to be that way sadly, but at least some people are waking up to what faith really means
