It is only to be expected that religions that go against God's Commandments and the Noahide laws against idolatry and blasphemy would fade away when the political establishment no longer have the political will to enforce belief, when they no longer believe in its efficacy themselves.
Belief that Jesus is God could only be enforced through state intimidation because it is so patently absurd. After the subjects of a European monarch were forcibly converted to Christianity, they were easily kept within the fold by the practice of burning heretics.
Edward Wightman was the last man in England to be burned at the stake in Lichfield in 1612 for denying that Jesus is also God.
Thomas Aikenhead was the last man in Britain to be hanged for blasphemy in Edinburgh in 1697. He was only 20.
Blasphemy remained a capital offence in Scotland until 1825.
If it had not been for the Christian-on-Christian religious persecution of Christian Europe, the Americans would not now have the First Amendment to prevent the nastiness of totalitarian Trinitarianism from following them from the Old World into the New World. The First Amendment is based on 2:256 of the Koran.
