The statistics I'm looking at show that there are 2.1 billion christians in the world and 1.1 billion atheist/secular/agnostic/non religious people www.adherents.com... . Still a minority and not really capable of 'oppressing' Christians, but still the highest it's ever been.
Percentage wise or numbers wise, however you want to look at it. Christianity is also increasing. More numbers of people are becoming Christian than are becoming Athiests. Christianity is increasing overall. Proving that this prophecy is not coming true or it has always been coming true. People will always be questioning their faith. It has been happening throughout history and some people will always be losing their faith.
