“The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting,” G.K. Chesterton noted in 1910. “It has been found difficult; and left untried.” Perhaps this helps explain why Christian adherence is in decline in the United Sates. On the other hand, whether or not Islam is found difficult, one thing is for sure.
It’s being tried — with zeal.
The former reality has inspired glee among Christophobes; the latter, alarm among Christians (and others). An example of this alarm is the recent Daily Mail feature, “Experts: Islam will be the dominant religion in America.” There’s an issue, however:
This isn’t really what “experts” are saying — not most of them, anyway.
In question is the United States’ (and world’s) “religious” landscape in ~2070. It’s predicted that Islam will overtake Christianity around that date as the world’s largest religion. In the United States, however, it’s poised to remain a minority faith; that is, based on current projections.
What worries many, though, are displays such as the below, in which Muslims “took over” NYC’s Union Square to pray.
Reacting to this, one X respondent wrote, “I seriously doubt that they are praying. They are trying to assert their dominance.”
Of course, it could be both — and some could be praying for dominance.
Another X user echoed the above-cited, asserting, “They aren’t praying. It’s an act of aggression.”
Now, various groups of people will always be alarmed when certain belief expression is “in your face.” It’s also true that various beliefs will at times be expressed in an in-your-face fashion. (This includes secular beliefs. The sexual devolutionary — i.e., “LGBTQ+” — agenda in schools, for instance.) Yet what does America’s religious future really look like? (And is “brief” the answer?)
Understanding our cultural trajectory requires examining current trends...

You can thank the self entitled libtard Karen voters for this madness.
Christianity isn’t fading. It is being actively eradicated by lawfare, laws, policy and NGO’s. Islam, on the other hand is being actively promoted.
Islam also spreads itself (and protects itself) with deadly force. That is a *powerful* lure to weak, disaffected people, of people, who feel powerless.
VatII, Francis, Leo and the homos in the Curia, Catholicism is going to have big financial problems. Once the muslims get the vote and sharia law gets shoved down American throats it will be too late to stop. Victoria’s Secret stock will become worthless.
Homosexuals should fear the rise of Islam. We know what happens to homosexuals under Islam. Business opportunity: On-the-spot sidewalk cleanup services.
Shoplifters should fear Islam for the similar reasons. Business opportunity: Manufacturer of hook implants for the wrist or forearm.
Is Islam growing in popularity because so many mainstream Christian churches have become “woke” social clubs?
God promised Avraham Avinu (Abraham) that Yishmael’s (Ishmael son of Hagar) descendants (physical and spiritual) would become extremely numerous and would be violent against everyone. Two billion Muslims and almost every war in the world involves them.
B’resheet (Genesis) 16: 10 - 12
And the angel of the Lord said to her, “I will greatly multiply your seed, and it will be too numerous to count.”
And the angel of the Lord said to her, “Behold, you will conceive and bear a son, and you shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard your affliction.
And he will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be upon all, and everyone’s hand upon him, and before all his brothers he will dwell.”
Unfortunately, I would say “yes”.
I did not become a Christian despite being a regular Methodist church goer. I went to a Evangelical Presbyterian church. I actually heard the Gospel and became a Christian.
In my opinion, Islam growing in popularity is mainly because we are importing muslims by the boatload. Also, some minorities are a lot more susceptible to the siren of Islam for various reasons.
Because so many mainstream Christian churches have become “woke” social clubs people abandon them (see Lutherans, Episcopalians, Methodists, etc). Some move to evangelical or Catholic churches to fill the void. But others never find a suitable replacement. A void is left which Islam sometimes fills.
And, of course, the leftists never attend church because they are largely atheists.
God bless you.
I was raised Catholic and didn’t receive Jesus Christ as my Savior until I heard the gospel at an Evangelical Lutheran church.
I think the thing that makes Islam attractive to some young people (I guess) is that it offers no apologies and has strict guidelines about male and female behavior. I don’t understand why these same people would take such offense at Charlie Kirk and his support (outspoken) of the Christian gospel message.
Islam is of the devil.
It will get worse in the USA with new anti American Pope in the Vatican. So far he has shown no leadership. Abortion, immigration, borders, slaughter of African Christians, climate change, LGBTQ. The man is way out there and he’s only 70.
The muslims don’t care they’ll kill all nonmuslims
Candace, MTG, Tucker and others on the “right” are helping them win.
Incorec5. Revival ia spreading amount Gen Z
I call it the quiet revival.
Good point. Christianity is growing in the rest of the world, just not in the Decadent West.
Looks like those lukewarm folks are going to get spit out.
The day “Father Flapdoddle’’ and the guitars came in I knew it was over.
This author doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Not all Christians go to a church because a lot of them are no longer churches.
I could name several right now.
Christianity is not declining in this country.
It’s just becoming more hated by the left.
