Firstly I agree with
@JackRT - atheism and secularism are not necessarily the same thing.
Secondly I agree with you to some extent. There was a time when the views of the state and the church more or less coincided. Now the division between secular views of the world and the more entrenched Christian views is widening. This means Christianity is now constantly coming up against the views of a secular majority. Christian views are becoming less listened to and less relevant. The Christian reaction seems to be one of bewilderment and cries of "foul!".
After centuries of unquestioned domination of the moral landscape, Christianity is finally being prodded with the most dangerous question which can be asked - "Why?"
The only answer I'm hearing is "Because".
