Again, I wouldn't want to dispute this point. I'd merely say that it's not the whole story. Religions can be quite fissiparous - authority is not always welcome amongst the religious. And the sense of mission can also be what's keeping them in the cult.
2. So, regarding Pentecostalism and Evagelicalism, I would go from experience. I meet many Muslims and see many Muslim children in primary schools. I meet few Pentecostals or Evangelicals (and see mosques being built, but not Evangelical/Pentecostal centres).

I don't doubt that your observations are true of the UK. I do not spend much time there. My hunch is, though, that if there is *any* growth in Christianity in the UK, it will be found in Pentecostalism and Evangelicalism.

The state, being technocratic liberal, takes every opportunity to frustrate these groups, because they are the rival religious sects most close to it. Growth is unlikely.

Unlikely in the UK, as it is currently ethnically constituted, yes.
