Fifty years from now, worldwide secularization will be much more dominant than it is now.

On the path we are currently on, this part of your statement is probably true. Then again, one giant worldwide depression or something like it could completely change the direction the world is going in. But yeah, I think Western Christianity is likely to continue weakening as populations in the Western world secularize.

Predictions are hard to make. Like you said, if we stay on this path, you're right but 50 years is a long time. A lot of things can happen, world wide collapse due to some catastrophe and/or atomic war, perhaps a war with Islam and so on. In 1980, I would have laughed at the idea of the USSR collapsing in the 1989/91 period although I did wonder if I was right in 1983 where I figured that one day the US would be like the USSR and the USSR like the US.

On the show “Laugh-In”, they made the correct prediction that the Iron Curtain would collapse in 1991. I’m, still, amazed that they made the correct call.
