religion is failing in the western countries.. that's why they are recruiting priests in third world and not so developed countries, like philippines, malaysia, indonesia, africa, etc.
its not that religion has failed, but the people in western countries have evolved into a different kind of consciousness na they don't believe in the God with human characteristics anymore (ma-jealous, ma-angry, ma-happy..

), in the philosophical timeline, they call it the post modern era.
aside from those countries being mentioned, you forget to mention the countries in the EAST also.. like CHINA, JAPAN, KOREA.. more than half of its citizens claim they don't have a religion of any sort.. I have known many japanese and chinese na they don't bat an eyelash when they admit they don't have any religion..
who governs good or bad is totally up to the society ra jud na.. and then mother earth (nature) will have her say also with regards to our actions on the environment and the natural state of things..
