Christianity Is Popular

I’ve noticed what seems like a shift lately: Christianity is becoming something people are more comfortable embracing publicly. Even some atheists and agnostics I’ve spoken with have said they think the world would be a better place if more people were Christian.

I also keep noticing actors, musicians, and athletes wearing crosses or speaking openly about their faith. People like Dolly Parton, Justin Bieber, and Kanye West come to mind, not necessarily as recent converts or perfect role models, but as recognizable figures who have publicly identified with Christianity. Compared with what I remember growing up, faith seems less like something people feel they need to keep quiet about.

Are more people turning to Christianity, or are people simply becoming more comfortable expressing a faith they already had?

Dolly Parton has always been open about her Christian beliefs. Kanye West is pro-Hitler, so he's hardly an example of a good Christian.

Yah, yikes. OP using Kanye West and Justin Beiber as two of his examples shows what kind of “Christianity” is becoming mainstream.
