Well, what do you have to say about the growing populations of other religions?

Just because other religions are experiencing a growth spurt, doesn't mean that Christianity is on the decline, or the Christians are being "converted" to other religions. Have you considered that a lot of the increase is from Non Christians making a choice on what to believe? Or maybe athiests believing in something other then themselves? Novel idea huh?

First, people are becoming aware that religious leaders are too often not any different from lying, scheming and opportunistic politicians; they're demagogues enriching themselves at the expense of the followers and believers. People are finally waking up. MAN made religions to herd and control others!
Now, if only people could learn to get along together...!
Religions separate and divide people and cause boundaries and borders and bring about hate and turmoil, killings, and massacres... genocides; they are the root of all that is evil and corrupt and deceitful (praise our God who is a loving god but hate and kill those that don't believe as we do).
People are finally making the connection. The rich and powerful control their crony politicians and elected officials and the religious leaders are also cronies with the corrupt, lying, cheating, crooked politicians and elected officials; "bids of a feather flock together." They're all demagogues!

The Bible does not match up with Science. As technology and science progress the Bible continues to lose credibility.
Regardless of my stance on religion, what I wrote above is true. Many Christians now revolve their religion around science. As we discover more about the universe the Bible does not hold as much truth to it. People still wish to hold on to spirituality and select portions of the Bible to believe in and the rest they consider metaphoric. Children abandon the beliefs of the Bible because it does not make sense. This is the entire reason why Christians are against science. Science makes their religion less valid.

Trinity that's the reason people are leaving it. You know Jesus being the father son and ghost. The West are no longer that gullible to bible thumpers and are becoming more moderate and liberal.
Instead Asia and Africa are increasing in christian population as it is easier to convince voodoo/idol worshipers into one triumvirate god - 3 in 1. E.g Hindus believe that worshiping Krishna,Vishnu,brahmin and any other god is worshiping one god.

Christianity is not declining. It is declining in Europe, but in Africa and Asia, particularly China and India, it is making dramatic leaps in conversions. So I guess you should really specify where you are talking about.
In fact, world wide, it is the fastest growing religion. It's growing even faster than Islam.

I notice you do not site you source. Are you sure. I can think of lots of reasons it might be true like not following the doctrine of accountability (Letters to Tim,,Mat 18) but i do not think numbers are actually decreasing world wide.

Religion is for the poor and noneducational people. Religion gives you fake illusion about better future but actually we all know that we are the only one responsible for our life,.
Western societies are not so religious because we have rich society and good education.
