Not at all. Whilst Christianity began in the Middle East and became more of a Western religion after America was discovered, the main growth in the church is now in the east. In southern Korea, growth has been astronomical and there are many churches there that now have congregations of over thirty thousand members each. In Russia, growth has been vigorous and incessant since the days of perestroika. In Africa it has been estimated that there are now more Christians than America and Europe combined. In India there is a huge, and growing, Christian population. But the most impressive growth is in China. In the sixties, when religion was outlawed during the 'cultural revolution', there were only around five thousand Christians meeting in secret for fear of persecution in the whole country. Since religion has been tolerated in China, those practising Christianity in the year 2000 grew to an estimated 50 million people, and, since then, the numbers of new Christians are estimated to grow by tens of millions every year so that by now, there are nearer 100 million practising Christians in that country.
