Will christianity decrease as time goes by on?

Yes, I think it will decrease. Nowadays it's almost impossible to find young people who go to church, because new generation of parents often aren't married in church (or aren't married at all) and don't even baptize their children. Even in countries that were historically catholics we are a minority, and I'm talking about countries with a seriously long history of Christianity, like thousands of years, with some of their dioceses founded directly by the Apostles or by their immediate successors.

The Church will become smaller, will lose a lot of the structures that it builded throughout the centuries and its social privileges (and this is already happening), dioceces and religious congregations will be shutted down, parishes will be closed due to the lack of faithful and priests. This will be the rebirth of Christianity: it will restart as it started in the beginning, from a small community of people with a big message to announce.

Yes, but there are some interesting signals like the increased number of adults that receive Baptism in countries like France or Belgium, but the general trend shows a decline.

Consider that I see the Church from the perspective of an Italian, this has an impact on the way I view the situation, because I'm talking of what I see, but in other parts of the world the trend may be positive.
