Western cultural ideas have been driven by paradigm changing scientific innovation. Newton created the 18th century --and the modern world. Darwin changed the culture. Einstein gave us the cultural cancer of pervasive relativity, of which postmodernism is the product.<br /><br />With each century since Newton, the church has contributed less. With each scientific revolution the church's explanatory power has eroded. Further, for 1,500 years the churches influence derived from its support of the political power. That is gone in Europe, and is almost gone in the USA.<br /><br />Also, not sure identifying "Christianity" over the centuries as one thing makes any more sense than saying that today people in Mexico City speak Latin.
