Christianity may have 30% share but practising Christians are not even 10%.
Islam with 19% and Hinduism with 14% are other two major religions...and practising Hindus and practising Muslims are most probably greater than practising Christians which we can see from Hindu festival of Kumbha mela where 70 MILLION HINDUS gather at one place from around the world and Islamic Hajj festival where 2.5 MILLION MUSLIMS gather at one place from around the world ...Hindu temples and Mosques are always crowded. On the other hand Christian churchs are almost empty.

Thats funny that you say that Christian Churches are mostly empty.
The Church I attend holds 1000 people, and has services on Saturday night, and Sunday at 7:15, 9:15, 11:15 and 5:15 and each of these services are standing room only, except for the 7:15 service...

Practising religion differs from religion to religion,
It does mean that a person is a practising religion just because he attends some festival.
I am a Hindu and believe in principles, teachings and spiritualistic teachings of Hinduism, but I rarely attend temples and festivals.

Yes and as a muslim I find it an advantage that Allah has asked us to pray five times a day so that we are constantly in touch with Him an can turn to Him more often.
However, I believe that the chrisians go to the churches mainly on sundays and one day in a week is not good enough. The church visiting shud be more often.

Where do you see Christian Church almost empty, Because my Church almost full of beleiver. It is depend, but for sure Christians will not attack Hinduis, We dont hate other religion. We teach love, kindness and forgiveness. But do you remember Bali island attack in Indonesia couple years ago. Most the people are Hinduism, Who make the suicide bomb and kill many hindus ???. Please do not compare Christianity with Islam. Violent and full of hate are totally different way with peace, love and forgiveness.

generation after generation people start to break commandements of God one after another, until religion become as something in the side. notice that christianity is old religion. in Islam, yes there is still muslims practice their faith, but compare to before, muslims did leave alot of practices. Islam will become like christianity after few hundred years from now. which people will not take their religion too literal, and people will start to take God words as a joke.
and humans do the same mistake over and over, ignore the warning of God.

Depends on where you are. Sadly I'd agree that there are a much lower number of practicing christians than I wish there was in the US/West, but the percentages are probably well over 80 in China which really has the largest number of practicing christians these days.

Sad but true. In England the Churches are being turned into schools.

Probably because most church-going individuals are in the U.S. rather than in Europe, the most populous Christian continent.

It is called the Day of Apostacy.
Where those who called themselves Christian, but have fallen away from the truth.
Hindu temples and mosques may be crowded, but all there are following the lie.
