And so there's a different attitude when we look at the substance of something like Christianity in that Christians were willing to be persecuted and die because they believe that Jesus had already won, that he was sitting at the right hand of the Father. And so their battle cries were pray, and pray, evangelize, and be willing to lose your life for this message.

Whereas with Islam, there was much more of a system where it was designed to subjugate the entire world under Islam. So you have the Dar al-Islam, the house of Islam, and then you have the rest of the world. And so... I think there's a political component to Islam that is very different than Christianity. I think there's also, especially in the West, we're basically being outbred in that

traditional Muslim homes have more kids. I mean, there's also the component of having more wives within majority Muslim countries that's allowed, but having more kids. And so you have more kids and you have a system that allows for certain things.

And so that's going to grow faster than a society which is dissuading families from growing, is maybe even demonizing the growth of a household for various reasons, whether that be, you know, political or environmental or otherwise. And so you just have very different worldview foundations for something like Christianity than you do for something like Islam.

Why do you think this is happening? So I think we do need to be careful with the statistics because we used to live in a culture that was much more culturally Christian than it is today. And sometimes I look at these numbers and I often wonder, OK, yes, you see this kind of downward trajectory.

But I wonder, I mean, in Canada, not that long ago, only a few decades ago, you had something like the Lord's Day Act, where you were not allowed to have a business open on Sunday because it was the Lord's Day. And there was just more of a cultural zeitgeist that was not necessarily, I think, Christian in, it was Christian out of convenience, not Christian out of conviction.

And so I think a lot of people used to go to church because maybe they were just following along in the society and that that's just part of what you did. And the culture shifted. And now the culture is not saying that going to church is necessarily something that you should do or need to do. And so I'm always curious as to how many of these people who used to

you know, fill out the little tick box and say, I'm a Christian, I go to church on Sunday. How many of them were doing so because it was just par for the course for their culture and the culture shifted and they weren't really necessarily convictionally Christian then And they were following the stream of the flow of the culture and the stream of the flow shifted.

And so now it's just more culturally accepted to not go to church. And so I wonder whether the people who are going to church now are actually those that choose to go to church convictionally and are what you would refer to as the actual Christians that feel that conviction now. that Jesus is their Lord and Savior.

Yeah, I mean, I think what we see globally is that we're seeing a shift in the demographics in that for a long time, the Western world was Christianized. Maybe it wasn't necessarily Christian, but it was Christianized. And I actually think we're seeing a shift statistically in that's moving to the global south.
