What is so off putting about Christianity to Europeans?

Europe was the bastion of Christianity for over a thousand years. Yet within the last century it has become the hotbed of atheism, fatalism, nihilism, materialism, and decadence. In the process Europe has apparently abondoned God, marriage, children, and societal self respect.

Now Allah has crept in to this area. There are many Europeans converting to Islam in response to what they view as a morally bankrupt culture. Why can't they just go back to Christianity (Roman Catholicism preferably) in protest of this decadence?

    Look at all the terrible intolerance, hatred, bigotry, homophobia and persecution practiced by Christians nowadays!

    England's Archbishop of Canterbury has said that Christianity is now known for it's hatreds and not about god!

    ALL the other religions and atheists live in peace and are ONLY attacked by BAD Christians which causes all GOOD Christians to despair at the damage they do!

    The self destruction of Christianity is underway and the only thing that can stop it is to abandon the terrible human emotions, seek to rediscover the idea of a loving god and act like it!

    It is the terrible attitudes and behaviour of Christians that drive people further away from God and are the reason so many DECENT people are becoming ANTITHEISTS!

    Does it occur to you that 1700 years of Christianity and all of the problems it caused in Europe simply became very tiresome after a while? Christianity has played itself out there, it's spiritually bankrupt in the eyes of many people, and it has been in many ways more trouble than it's worth, especially in a post-Enlightenment era of modern education, modern science and medicine.

    No religion is likely to last forever -- not Islam either, though Islam has yet to undergo its Enlightenment.

    The evaporation of Christianity throughout Western Europe and Scandinavia is due to the 800 year or so head start it had over Islam.

    I think that they are too proud to admit that they were wrong to reject Christianity.
