As for how it will be from now on... Well I think a lot of Christian stuff is seen kind of like "that thing my grandma does". Ex. my wife's grandma goes to church - for a knitting group and for singing at Christmas, I'm not sure if she does anything else. Her kids only go to church for the singing at Christmas. My wife's generation only goes at Christmas if they happen to be with the parents or grandma.
And I think a lot of people are realizing that Christianity is "bad", as in it comes with a bad culture. When you hear of religious people you tend to hear about crazy Islamists and crazy American Christians for example, or religious cults. Normal, average people who may or may not be Christian see stuff like documentaries or bits of news about America on TV and they hear about these crazy people. So I think that in our generation it's turning a lot more people off, or people feel like they're sort of "too busy" for the kind of religion where you have to go to church every week, etc.
(I have heard of a few crazy religious people here - they were all either foreigners or they were actually just crazy, like they must have been abused as kids or something)
