Christianity isn't on the decline because the internet has made knowledge available to everyone you dupe. Smartphones and social media are destroying our generations interests in literature, theology, expanding ones horizon, etc. Most people in their teens and 20s are spending more time on twitter or facebook commenting on nonsense rather than picking up a book to learn literature, history, etc.
Even the art of conversation is being lost. The other day i was sitting at work in the lunchroom and as i look around, literally every single person is glued to their phones. No ones talking to each other, and our English is becoming more basic and dumbed down with each passing generation.
Every generation says this. Before phones it was television, before that people were glued to their newspapers, you can go back further if you want.
Believe it or not higher standard of living, higher education, and greater freedom actually does erode religion. It erodes all traditional systems, family included.
