Yeah, I agree. There will probably be *some* Christians around for centuries but give it another 40-50 years & they will be a tiny minority & will be viewed similarly to the way that Scientologists are today.
Non believers will be in the majority, even in the US, by 2030 at current rates. The trends are accelerating though so it may actually occur even sooner.
Can't come too quickly if you ask me.

I think they will remain a fairly large group, but will be very different than their current "form".
Mainstream Christianity today is nothing like Christianity from 200 years ago, and will be again very different a century from now.
Probably, the same will happen as in "reform Judaism": people will celebrate some traditions (Christmas, Easter, etc.), have some social happenings, but no really "religious" or superstitious elements.
Something more like a nationality, which is part of your heritage: it's nice, has some interesting elements, but obliges you to nothing.
Religion will in my opinion not really be an issue anymore, just as the moral "dilemma" of slavery, which is contested by nobody anymore today (in first world countries at least).

They are only a tiny minority now, worldwide!! Remember not all who proclaim to be christan are
true christians. That is why Jesus said, "Broad and spacious is the road leading off into everlasting
destruction and many are upon it!...but narrow and cramped is the road leading to everlasting life
and few are the ones following it." He also said that many would say to him in that day, did we not
prophocey and do great and wonderful works in your name; but, he tells them, get away from me
you workers of lawlessness for I never knew you!" It is not how we want to worship God but how
God has instructed us to worship him that we must be doing. Many of that so-called christian
hood are not doing so. Yet at the same, time none of those religions that do not worship Almighty
God and pray to him through his son, Jesus Christ are any better off than the so-called christians
Jesus denied knowing. They have set themselves to gain the same judgemental execution as the
vast so-called christian faiths Jesus denied. Yes, true christians will survive the great day of GODS
wrath, armeggeddon and will gain everlasting life which covers many centuries to come.

At the rate that religious extremists of all creeds want to take us, Humanity will not last another century.

Very few Christians, or any person for that matter, last a century. The average person dies in their 70s.

Christianity is on a major decline, churches are empty almost all the time. A religion built on the foundations of falsehood and deception cannot last.

If we don't then satan wins and we all go to hell,just as he planned.The greatest trick satan has ever pulled off was making people think that he doe not exist.and all you have to do is open your Bible to see what he is up to.
