"We need to take the new Christianity very seriously," Philip Jenkins told me. "It is not just Christianity plus drums. If we're not careful, fifty years from now we may find a largely secular North defining itself against a largely Christian South. This will have its implications. I think," he said, "that the big 'problem cult' of the twenty-first century will be Christianity."

The gist is that doctrinaire christian sects in Africa will end up preying for the same converts as Islam, thereby creating conflicts of Jihad versus Crusade..
