	Haha I think it must really depend on what part of the world you're in. There are no Wiccans in my area. The only Wiccans I've ever met were in America. Canada is full of Hindu's, Hare Krishna's, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Muslims. There's a giant gated Muslim compound in the middle of the city here, where they "educate" them from childhood, through high school, until adulthood. 

That said, so long as this diversity-phile mental cancer, that has taken over the West, doesn't spread to the rest of the world, Christianity will continue to flourish. China, for example, is having a huge explosion of Christianity, completely unrecognized by government statistics.

I suspect the interest in religious diversity is more a symptom of how Christianity in the west has gone rather rigid. It's not a new phenomena, ancient pagan states went through a similar process. Hell, the rigidity of the Roman religion was part of the reason Christianity came about. I think you can even put the out of place political moralism aside (though homophobia and creationism has done them no favors), the big thing is that most churches come off as social clubs for retirees. Though, I will say, I don't think this rigidity is completely true everywhere. You don't see it in Mormonism, or in black churches. Those seem very much alive.

Christianity in Asia isn't rigid. I've met a few who came from it (the Korean batch at least. My parents are Methodists and the Methodists are heavy into Korea). It's very revivalistic, but it's also picked up quite a bit of Asianness too. Essentially the thing is still alive there, moving with the current of the population rather than despite it like in the west. I think, personally, we could see a revivalist movement in the west sometime this century that revitalizes Christianity, but like all revivalist movements, the Christianity that comes from it reborn will be different then what came before.

But so long as so many churches remain places where old people tell other old people the story of Noah the two-thousand-umpteenth time right before having an egg casserole potluck, Christianity will lose ground in most of the western world. And let them. You only deserve as much attention as you earn. 

...I do confess I am a diversity-phile myself, but I think I come by it honestly. It's not so much a liberal open-mindedness thing for me as it is a natural attraction to novelty. I like weird shit. I'm the type of dude that tries the alligator on a stick. So the idea of religious diversity sounds fun for no other reason but it might buy me a few weird conversations (You [i]actually[/i] worship the Egyptian gods? Holy fuck, what's that like?)
