in Western Europe its drying up rapidly. In my own country there are for example 1593 catholic churches which are still active and open. The archbishop declared that within the next 10 years more than 1000 of them will be closed and demolished or sold. The catholic church overhere officially has 4 milliion members overhere but only 200,000 of them are churchgoers and most of them are aged above 65 yrs old. Every year about 20,000 less people go to the catholic church. That means that within 10 years virtually none of them are left. In the 70's more than 2 million catholics went to church every weekend overhere!
The picture is the same for the protestant churches overhere. So yes its drying up at record speed in Western Europe.

China and south America is the new growth areas for churches.
The Anglican church and the Church of England should be added together to make 105 million
