in a sense... yes and no...
yes... Europe is very secular... Canada is more and more secular.. the US has strong secular influence along with religious
I think the problem is real Christians may have always been a minority and the question might be based on an illusion that they were the majority... they may have been more or less influential at times
you can only ask that question of a country which was previously predominantly affected by Christian though and probably only Europe or the Americas or Russia come close to fitting that and even then it was more the influence of some real chrsitans that the nation being chrsitan
for Africa and Asia Christianity is on the rise not the decline
for the US it kinda holds its own
for Europe possibly on the decline
but these are generalizaitons and true overall

The inquisition, passion plays, crusades, forcible conversions aside, do we live in a post-christian world...not at all. I think Christianity is just as prevalent as ever. Advances in media technology and travel abilities have made missionizing easier than ever for Christian's to spread the gospel. Christianity only faced criticism in the first 300 years of it's existence, until Constantine *forcibly* spread Christianity throughout the Empire and beyond. Since that time, the religion has enjoyed free reign throughout the world and continues to do so.

That would mean after the Rapture, when all true Christians are taken from this earth. When satan will start the 7 year rule- people will still have the chance to choose God.
No, we do not live in a post Christian world.

no, we are most certainly not in a post christian world. christianity, like every major religion, has modified itself in order to stay relevant in an ever changing world. as soon as a religion ceases to do this, then the religion becomes irrelevant. christianity is still very much part of the 21st century.

Absolutely not.
There are more christians (2.1 billion) than any other religion.
Christianity has been the dominate religion for 2,000 years and it will take a very-very long time for that to be changed to create a "post-Christian" world.

Yes I believe I will go to heaven, because I am saved and Jesus Christ is my savior.The only post Christian world or after life for humanity is with God, if you don't have Jesus then you will not make it to heaven or the after life, read Revelations, the Holy Bible.

It means Christianity no longer dominates the planet because people don't really think about it much anymore and yes, because so few Christians are motivated by their faith.

For the most part...yes. It means that most countries...western Europe for example, have abandoned the prinicples upon which they were founded and their cultures were developed...these were thrust aside for "multi-culturalism" wherein new immigrants were not encouraged to assimilate into the countries they moved to and permiited to build enclaves of medievalist religious thought...and to demand extra rights because they were "under-priviledged" minorities.

No, but I wish we lived in a post religious era. John Lennon was the only real prophet.

Post-Christian: the mailing of Easter and Christmas cards.
