So what would you say how fucked is religion and in particular Christinaity in the West (no brown people)? >churches are empty >small minority goes to church every week >major countries in Europe are already predominantly irreligious >trend line in all other countries is the same >religious values have no influence on politics anymore >basically it is Sodom and Gomorrah in society >science has pushed god to the edges of the Universe and cringy metaphysics
On a scale of 1 / proper fucked how bad is it? Also your a/s/l and denomination?
I bet those who say they are religious know deep down god is bullshit
you would think a people who believed in a heaven would have no fear and yet they hide in their houses while leftist activist youth take the initiative

Most of my country is "religious" (some 90% identify as catholic) in the sense that they go to church and do nothing else related to christianity. They are utterly useless. Our priests are not all that good, either - they are mostly detached and disinterested, and the beauty of the sermons is ruined by their insistence on sounding as if they were bored to hell. Our youth, of which I am part, is nearly beyond repair with irresponsibility, promiscuity, apathy and calousness towards society and others. Most young people I know have at least some form of emotional issues (of which the most common seem to be the unwillingness to seriously commit to anything, particularly relationships, and fears of abandonment) and are almost invariably nihilistic and hostile toward religion and patriotism. Divorce rates are skyrocketing, and the effects of broken families on people are fairly obvious when you get to know them. I am genuinely trying to help people overcome that phase, and have actually had successes with several people, but it is a Sisiphus quest. The whole state of things is tragic. I wish I were joking, or that I could claim those judgements to be inaccurrate on account of knowing too few people, but I am not joking nor can I claim that. Just bloody end this.

At least in my anecdotal experience, Americans tend towards more piety, but even less theology than Europeans. I have encountered literal clergy, both catholic and proestant (Baptists and methodists) who made errors about what parts of the Bible were written by Paul, or just being unfamiliar with notions like that the Old Testament was not originally written in Greek. And again, that's clergy, not just people going to church. American religious experience is mostly shouting JEEEESUS really loudly and not much else.

Church is a scam anyway. It has detached itself from God long ago.
If you truly seek God you will find Him on your own.

By religion you mean christianity, right? In that case; I will tell you plainly that it is dying. For better or for worse christianity will become a minority religion in the developed world.
