Is popular culture an indication of the decline of christianity?

During the 60's flower power era, it seems just about everyone except Lennon was singing songs about walking with Jesus. Even Black Sabbath had some christian themes in their early works.





Now, bands that right religious music tend to be grouped with other christian bands.





Sure, there's the odd song about Jesus these days, but it certainly dosn't seem to be as prominent as it once was.





Is this an indicator that christianity is losing it's influence on modern society?

The cultures have become so polarized that if you are one group...you don't want to be associated with the other...

Reply:No. Popular culture has always existed. It changes over time.
