Kwa miaka 100 ya mwisho asilimia za Wakristo kati ya watu wote zimebaki 33, yaani mmoja kwa watatu, lakini [[uwiano]] kati ya [[Bara|mabara]] umebadilika sana, kwa maana katika Afrika, Asia na sehemu nyingine za [[Ulimwengunchi wazinazoendelea|nchi nyingine Tatuzinazoendelea]] Wakristo wameongezeka, kumbe Ulaya na [[Amerika Kaskazini]] wamepungua<ref>Werner Ustorf.

KutokanaKuhusu maeneo ambako Wakristo wanapungua, ni kwamba, kutokana na [[historia ya Kanisa]] kuwa na mchanganyiko wa mazuri na mabaya, wengine wanahisi kuwa halina maana sanatena.
Hali hii inajionyesha hasa pale ambapo waamini wengi, hasa Ulaya, wameacha kwenda kanisani isipokuwa siku ya [[Krismasi]] na [[Pasaka]] au kwenye [[harusi]] na misiba.
Pia kutokana na mgawanyiko wa madhehebu, kumekuwa na mkanganyiko kuhusu kazi ya Kanisa la leo.
