melon said:Christianity is waning, because people equate Christianity with fundamentalism and conservatism now. Thus, if you don't identify with their narrow definition of Christianity, chances are you'll reject it completely.

Sadly, I agree. The majority of people in America today tend to associate the extreme religious right with the majority of Christians, when in reality they can be very different things. And with the current attitude that's present in America, you're either with them or against them. There's really not that much middle ground.
This is definately a major aspect as to why Christianity may, in fact, eventually be replaced for the most part by Islam. Islam's becoming more and more popular in the world, while Christianity seems to be losing steam. I mean, look at France, a country that was formerly dominated by Catholics. The Muslim population there is growing so rapidly that, in a number of years, the majority of the population might be Muslim if things keep going the way they're going.
However, it has lasted some 2000 years so far. So you've got to take that into consideration.
