More and more people in recent times are starting to be skeptic about our faith. They now doubt pastors, including me too. We question certain doctrines to suit our own life eg, non-payment of tithes and so on

My question is that if this trend continues, will christianity fade away while what will be remaining are atheists or agnostics and so on.

Yes! Definitely! Affirmative! Positive! Unquestionably! Undoubtedly! Assuredly! Absolutely! Undebatably!

You get the point right?

Christianity is fading away.

Every religion fades away. Including those that have been around for thousands of years. Eventually they are no more. Do you know there was a time millions of people worshipped Ra, Osiris and Isis his wife? From Africa to the middle east and parts of Europe. This went on for thousands of years before christianity and islam appeared. In their hey-day, no once could ever contemplate that a time would come when the majority would no longer worship Osiris who WAS 'GOD', or his ''only begotten son'' Horus.

This topic is getting hot.

Both Xtians and Muslims will fade away. Maybe to be replaced by another religion.

Or at most we are heading towards another major reformation in both religions that might address some of the ills.

Do you forsee a freethinking age? No laws, no moral codes or principles. Women walking about unclad and people doing what they like?

Or is it possible that when those things start to be practiced by the people who want freedom and thereby result to living their life the way they want it, will it make religion stronger? You know people getting scared of freedom and a fast-paced life thereby cleaving onto God to save their souls.

There will always be laws morals and principles. These will be determined by the society and based on necessity. The benefits compared to the potential negatives. Evolution sort of already swings in that direction.
