The decline of Christianity in Western and Northern Europe

[CALMONE20###]

Nowadays,countries such as the UK,Sweden,France,Belgium,Spain etc are atheist. Whereas,say 70 years ago,they were majority Christian. How did this happen?

They became materialistic and decided that they were at the end of history so they thought that there is no reason to believe in anything higher than themselves because they "Reached" the peak of civilization.
Obviously, any Nation who thinks that will eventually get their ass beat by other civilizations that are still building themselves up (China,India)

My grandfather's (dad's uncle's) wife is Swedish (raised Christian but converted to Islam), and she told me this: in Sweden, they have always wanted to distance themselves from Christianity, but in the 2000s, once they separated themselves from the church, more people began to lose interest in Christianity, and churches are seeing fewer people each year.

Well, people have always seen it as backwards. Now that it’s not in peoples lives anymore, they can do as they like I guess. But a country without religion will always die off to those with it

Christianity is virtually dead in the West, but I don't think it was inevitable, despite the theological incoherence and contradictions that are inherent in Christianity. Certain social movements are responsible for its decline.

I rather like Orthodox Christianity and wish that the Greeks that were in Sudan had become more religiously influential instead of the Catholics or the Anglicans.

Greeks in Sudan?

Greeks in Sudan?

The British brought Greeks over and they essentially served as a merchant class; they established Juba (South Sudan's capital) and they created Kosti -- named after Costas Mourikis
