Seneca: "Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful."
Since Western nations are no longer governed by absolute monarchs, Christianity is now obsolete.
The reason Constantine the Great adopted Christianity was because the Roman imperial cult had failed and its role was to support the divine right of kings.
Christians have never been able to explain how Jesus is God. Once they lost the will to burn heretics at the stake or even hang them - and denying the divinity of Jesus is heresy - Europeans rejected Christianity. This is evidenced in the American, French and Russian Revolutions which were rejections of Christianity and monarchy. When will the penny drop?
Westerners are using a horse and carriage on a highway meant for fast-moving automobiles.
The best religion would be the religion that has the most powerful deity with the most believable narrative with laws most rational and moral people can agree to with its own official handbook whose words from the Supreme Authority are not disputed. That religion is not Christianity.
