Religion plays a role, but more often the society's choices decide the fate of religions, really.

In the US, we have a wide range of religious viewpoints, so people can choose their version of Christianity based on their social and cultural point of view. Christianity is convenient that way. It can support almost anything, simple by selective choices from a complete gamut of doctrinal views of what is moral and ethical. There's a flavor of Christianity for everyone, I suppose, although I prefer none of them at all.
