First paragraph: Seems like wishful thinking to me. Christians still run the world.

Second paragraph: It seems like you are asking if the Messiah is about to return. I guess I'd say No?

With tongue less in cheek, its incredibly hard to imagine a religion today pulling off the same kind of growth that Islam/Christianity did during their explosive first couple of centuries. Culture is all wrong for that sort of thing.

Um, Mormonism. Also Islam doesn't appear to be doing too badly these days.
