b]What is actually happening to the Western countries that brought Christianity to Africa Can church decline happen in Nigeria or any African Countries Any Thoughts my people.

...Religiosity in Canada is at an all-time low, with recently released data from Statistics Canada showing only 68 per cent of Canadians 15 or older now report having a religious affiliation. It’s the first time that number has dipped below 70 per cent since StatCan began tracking the data in 1985....Christianity, however, is in sharp decline. In 2011, 67.3 per cent (about 22.1 million people) of Canadians said they were affiliated with a Christian religion. In 2019, that number had dropped to 63.2 per cent. Catholicism, Canada’s largest denomination, now accounts for 32 per cent of Canadians over 15, down from 46.9 per cent in 1996.
The decline is even more precarious for Canada’s United and Anglican churches....

'We lose a church per week'

Th UCC is the country’s second-largest Canadian Christian denomination. It accounted for 14.6 per cent of Canadian Christians in 1985. In 1996, that number declined to 9.7 per cent and to just 3.8 per cent in 2019. Islam, considered a minority religion, now sits at 3.7 per cent.

Nowadays, Meyers says, on average, the United Church loses one church per week across Canada and he expects that to accelerate.

He acknowledges that many people brought up religious lose interest, but says some come back of their own volition later in life. Meyers did so himself, turning to the church in his 30s after the breakdown of his marriage...

Funny how humans think they can do without God.

I foresee the next generation to be worse than this.

And Islam still maintaining the spot as the fastest growing religion.

I think people are now getting in terms with reality.

These things shouldn't come as a surprise to the Bible studying christian, the Bible prophesied about these things a thousands of years ago. Check out Matthew chapter 24: 3-13.

3. As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

4. Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.

5. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.

6. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.

7. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.

10. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,

11. and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.

12. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,

13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

Also check out 2 Timothy 3:1-4

1. But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.

2. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3. without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,

4. Treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God

Christianity is free will or voluntary unlike islam that forces people to the extent of taking the lives of those who refused or threaten to leave the faith. Non-muslims in majority-moslem countries are the most endangered humans in the world. Even among themselves, Moslems will still fight and kill each other because one islam group feels his group doctrine is the right and pure one. Most Moslems will prefer living in christian countries than their Moslem countries. Afghans were rushing to run to Europe and America when there are closer Moslem countries they can easily run to. Stop deluding yourself with fake opinion.

So all those you pastors and bishops reverting to Islam were forced?

Some people are just plain bigots.

On this your number 10, the faith wasn't there in the first place!

the hypocrisy that goes with most of you in that religion is baffling. Religions are like political parties in Nigeria, people camp and decamp every minute. You make it look as if it is only islam people are rushing to. Do you know how many people who left islam to Christianity and other religions this very second? Do you know how many that totally left anything call religion, be it Christianity, islam or any other? Stop deceiving yourself.

an average man will want to sleep with and marry as many women as possible, an average man wants power from any source. An average man wants to operate "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" policy of revenge. A vengeful person will run to a faith that condones violence than love and forgiveness, any religion that conforms to an average man's desire will easily pull a crowd of people.

Your comment doesn't add up, if the faith wasn't there then why did Jesus say they would turn away from the faith? The faith had to be there for them to later turn away from it. These are people who were christians whether nominal or spiritual just like the people the op is asking about who will start turning away from the faith in the last days. Jesus said it would happen so the point here is that christians shouldn't be bothered about it when it happens just like Jesus said it would. Rather, they should be more concerned about being among those that remain steadfast to the end and are saved.
