I think Christianity or any faith was easier to believe in before the industrial revolution because the things we view now as scientific law was strange and magical to people and easily explained by faith (such as the evolution of man). Also there is a general aversion to any authority thats been on the incline since the beginning of history. we can attribute this later factor to a general interpretation of the law of Entropy.

I think there has always been enough evil in this world to make the most faithful zealot question God's existence, but those questions were easily drowned out by "evidence" of god's existence through miracles. Notice though, how the advent of inventions such as the camera and microphone have suddenly discouraged god from showing any miracles in the last 100 years. For many people their faith in a god has kept them from acting on their animal instincts, so without proof of that god, many people give up on a transcendental view on happiness, and settle for satisfaction of instinctual desires such as sex, power, and survival.

I don't think so....churches are growing by numbers, expanding, and attendance is up, thus the churches having the need to grow.

Europe used to have the largest churches and church going population around. You are right...the Church of England has dropped to nearly nothing.
My preacher was invited to come and preach in England....he was awesome...but the attendance on television was sparce. To which the issue of attendance was spoken. He was well received by the English goers.
The reason they are asking for American Preachers to come is to inspire them to come back.
If one looks at the trouble in Europe what with riots and the young people doing all sorts of hard core ills...it isn't so hard to see what is happening.
My church has risen from 75 ten years ago to a regular attendance of 7000 strong. Our church had to expand its building to accommadate the mass growth. They have several services on Sunday and many through the week. He is a strong young man that talks the way one needs to hear.
He once was quite the rouser, now he is a man of God. Our church sends thousands and thousands of dollars around the world to help other churches get on their feet and help their communities. It is all to be seen by all its members. The staff changes regularly to keep honesty and power in tact. No one can get the "big eye" there.

Just look at the Crusades being held in Africa and in other nations.

Thousands gather at these crusades, with hands lifted up, praising the Lord Jesus Christ.

Why this large gathering happening everywhere??

Cause JESUS is being lifted up, and NOT religion.

When Jesus and not religion is being lifted up, it draws ALL People to Him.....and God is then able to Move .

The time is already upon is..... God is Fixing to pour out His spirit upon ALL flesh .

Spirituality is not the rise in general. Not just Christianity. The religion itself, I think, is being left behind.

GOD TV has a Battle for Brittain initiative going on & is asking Americans to pray for Revival in GB... they are going door to door.

... and getting the door slammed in their face.

Anyone with a north american accent is seen as a mormon.

mormons are as popular as jehovah's witnesses, door-to-door salesman and a case of piles!

all of them are a pain in the arse!

That is hilarious! We view anyone with an oy mate accent to be a bit mentally sub-standard, overweight, pub crawling drunkard socialists with bad teeth and an awful arrogant attitude for losers on the world stage of history who are led by an inept clutch of inbred silver spoons. But we might be just as wrong in our assessment. Oy!
