Christianity In Decline

Christianity may be the Johnny come lately of religions but up until 2010 it was going great guns but a Pew Research poll found that the religion is in decline due to millions of Christians around the world leaving the religion.
Christianity numbers stood at 2.4 billion in 2010 and is still the Worlds largest religion with 2.2 billion followers in 2025 but the flock are not dumping their rosary beads for another religion, they are just giving up on the whole concept altogether, or becoming 'religiously unaffiliated' to use the correct term.
Globally there are 1.9 billion religiously unaffiliated which range from atheist, agnostic and nothing in particular against 5.8 billion who say they believe in something but what the the reasons that people give for being like REM and losing their religion?
The list includes an increase in access to information and education, the rise of individualism, personal freedom, a decline in trust towards religious institutions due to scandals and hypocrisy, dissatisfaction with social stances on issues like LGBTQ+ rights and gender equality, and a questioning of rigid religious explanations for life's suffering and evil.
As someone who believes that if you sit down and think about the whole idea of religion and conclude that you still believe in a God (or Gods) then you really didn't think about it long enough then i am happy to see people walking away from whatever faith they had because something which should be predominantly about caring and loving your fellows has been responsible for so many wars, conflicts and hatred throughout history that it is hard to make a case for what the World gains by having religion in it.
