As far as I'm aware most of Europe has been in decline for a fair while. Not really sure on the US.
Reminds me of an old joke. A guy goes to Northern Ireland for a holiday. Goes into a pub in a seedy part of town one night. He's sipping on a pint at the bar when suddenly he feels the cold sensation of a gun barrel on the back of his neck:
He hears the guy say: Catholic or Protestant? He has no idea what part of town he's in so no idea what the 'correct' answer is. After a second's thinking:
Buddhist.
