I'd be cautious about labeling the modern world anything. We are still a majority Christian society. Europe is still more than 50% Christian.
It's the voices, the people who are loudest at screaming about what is good, what people are made of, what morals we should and do hold. It's similar to the left screaming, "Get U.S. out of Panama, The Panamanians hate us!" when the truth was that only the left-wing 15% in Panama hated us.
Conservatives have a very bad habit of being quiet, maintaining their calm, not rocking the boat, shutting up and sitting down, when the screaming from the left starts. Any conservative who belongs to a liberal college, a liberal profession (like teaching or acting), a liberal church (like the Episcopal church or the Catholic church), has learnt to be quiet because the leftists are talking. Speak up at peril of being ostracized by some of the meanest, most aggressive, most hateful bullies on this side of the ocean. And that's where you get the impression that THE MAJORITY think such and so when they don't really hold the majority. Sadly, though, this is how they gain the ascendancy--by gaining control of the conversation and then overwhelming the general opinion.
