Jesus is real and alot more powerful than our human minds can comprehend. I believe that true christians, the prayer warriors have enough faith in them to call upon God's angels to make up in numbers in heaven what we lack on earth, therefor we cannot become a minority if Heaven is infinately supplied.

I guess it depends on how one defines "Christian." Lots of people claim belief in a deity, but never attend any religious services. I went to a social science site in a serious attempt to get facts, not opinion or hyperbole. This is what I found:
Top Twenty Religions in the United States, 2001

Eckankar 18,000 26,000 +44%
* many atheists/ agnostics undoubtably respond with 'non-religious/ secular' due to the stigma of 'atheism'
Hope you can project from these trends. I'm not exactly a statistician. Good luck.

As religiosity in the US population has been relatively stable since the 90's, realistically Christianity is going to have a mojority for awhile. It would have to lose over 40M followers to not be a majority.
Hope this helps!

There are a lot of those that call themselves Christians but very few truly follow christian philosophy. Presently true Christians are a minority to pseudochristians.

The trends show a resurgence of regular Americans going back to their (christian) church. The only way to see a big drop in christianity is if a flood of nonchristian immigrants (eg. asians) move to the US
