Your argument would be valid if catholicism or christianity in general would either grow or remain the same througout the western masses, which is not true. The only places in the world where christianity is growing is asia (most noticeably) and probably africa but there's less data for that.

You're right in saying this is mostly common to the american society(which itself propagated to the rest of the world), but I'm doubtful about the implied cause of organized religion. At least in europe this has not been the case for what, a century?
