With true religious freedom, scientific knowledge, and archeological discoveries have come together in the study of the Bible and other ancient documents have Christians started to see the truth. An example of this can be found in the British newspaper the "Daily News" 25/6/84 under the heading "Shock survey of Anglican Bishops" We read that a British television poll of 31 of 39 Anglican Bishops found 19 to believe that it is not necessary for Christians to believe that Jesus is God, but only "His supreme agent." Muslims too, strangely enough, have been told this over 1400 years ago by God Almighty in the noble Qur'an. The Qur'an tells us that Jesus was not God nor the Son of God (in the orthodox sense), but only a very pious and elect servant and messenger of God. This is even testified to by Jesus himself in John 17:3 "And this is life eternal, that they might know YOU the ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have SENT."

More Christians are either converting to Islam or moving away from Christianity than more Muslims going the other way round.
The reason is very simple. If you have a so called authoriative book, which becomes very questionable over time, Logic will tell you that Something Is Very Seriously Wrong.

Quote from the questions Additional Details: There're more but I wont continue, I bet Christians are going to say "oh, he's not a real Christian! unlike the "good" christians" Are you really trying to equate a man literally responsible for millions and millions of murders and untold misery with a peaceful church attendee living a quiet life? Of course he is not a real Christian, he is not even a good human being by any standard of any ideology, whether that be atheist or Christian. Maybe you should have put a few quotes from Hitler in your question regarding The final solution, for example: “The holocaust is the solution to the Jews final question” You are not doubt aware that the final solution was influenced by a perverted interpretation of Darwin’s natural selection, or as the Nazi's interpreted it: Survival Of The Fittest? As a result of this belief in eugenics, Hitler and the Nazi’s were responsible for countless atrocities; can the same be said as a result of his tenuous links to the Christian Faith? Categorically: no. Furthermore, the theory of evolution (natural selection) has well and truly been hijacked by atheists as proof of absence of a creator (a totally flawed argument I might add), so are we to take from Hitler’s adoption of eugenics that he was an atheist and judge all atheists accordingly? Stalin was an atheist; does that mean I can judge all atheists based on him? Not to mention Pol Pot and Chairman Mao. If you are going to use this type of illogical argument against Christians, don’t be surprised if it’s turned back against you. One last point: Hitler waged war against countries that were basically Christian and did not agree with Hitler’s final solution and many, many people from these countries died so that the evil that was Nazism was destroyed. Does that not tell you something about Hitler’s alleged Christian links?

Islam is simply a Christian heresy repackaged for consumption by Arabs who were neither Christian nor Jewish and were oppressed by both of them. In 50 years after Muhammad's death, Islam was knocking on the Byzantine door and only Charles Martel had the guts to defeat Islam in 732 AD.
Given how Europe is apostazing (both Christian and Orthodox) as Islam continues to grow, one would like to agree with the asker's sentiments. However, Christianity has not changed and there are more "avenues" like Discovery Channel and James Cameron to disseminate the same BS heresies which didn't exist during ancient times. The Roman Emperors tried and failed and eventually converted to Christianity.

You are waaaaaay off base. I'm not even sure how you think John 17:3 supports the assertion. Most Christian leaders agree on one central philosophy, that salvation is ONLY attained through Jesus Christ, and His acceptance as Lord and Savior. Don't kid yourself to believe that this in some way has suddenly changed.

You can't separate Jesus from God. They're all one in the same. God, took on the form of man (Jesus). He became flesh and blood/ a sacrificial lamb offering to save poor idiots who don't have sense enough to reverence Him for who He is. Personally, it doesn't mean anything to me that you have bishops who don't know jack, not to mention Jesus and it's not surprising. So if you're referring to that truth, no I just can't see it because I walk by faith, not by sight. Thanks!

If you confess not that Jesus Christ is the Son of God then you are an anti- Christ.

Interpretation of gildamcgee's answer: "God is responsible for the bad things in my world. He's a big meany, and me and my homies are going to think Him away."
The End (but I hope not)

Thank you, it is not us who needs educating from you. You obviously know nothing of Christianity so aren't in a position to preach to those who do.
