Excerpts of larger article . Aside from the purpose and circumstances of (of continent celibacy in dedication to God, and esp. under persecution) actual Christians since circa 1960 have largely forsaken the first commission as well as the last one given before the Lord ascended:

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. ()

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. ()

I largely agree with your observations, with the exception of your timing.

I think the forsaking was largely in place several decades earlier. The Catholics in the west in practice finished folding in the 60’s, but most everyone else of consequence in the west folded one to four decades earlier.

"Three The main factors driveing Islam’s rapid expansion:


Demographic Advantage: Muslims maintain the youngest median age (24 years) among all major religious groups Higher Fertility Rates: Muslim women have an average of 3.1 children, while non-Muslim women have 2.2 children Population Momentum: Large youth populations entering childbearing years will give continued growth"

- Children born into Muslim families stay muslim and they will kill you if you leave the faith

I would have thought Europe’s Christian population was much more than 66% in 1910. There were Muslim majorities in Turkey-in-Europe and Albania and significant numbers of Muslims in Bosnia, Kosovo, Bulgaria and a few other places, plus some districts of the Russian Empire. Add the Jews and any freethinkers and I doubt they add up to 34%.

“India will surpass Indonesia as the country with the largest Muslim population.”

India is about 75% Hindu.

I didn’t see Scientology anywhere in the article. I wonder why?
