You can't be blind to the fact that the Western world is increasingly secular though. We are living in a post-Christianity societ. One that arguebly has its basis on that religion (We take Good Friday as a holiday for example) but has significantly demystified it. With each generation people are losing touch with the their religious roots. Sure, they may go to Church on Christmas and Easter, but that really doesn't count. That is more a tradition thing. And you can bet dollars to pesos that Christmas and Easter phenomenon of attendance is dwindling too.
