These quotes make me nervous

We will definitely return to the parachurch questions that have been raised. They are important and i think we have only begun looking at them!
But for now, i'm being bothered by some things that i would like input on. I've heard a few quotes at seminary the past few days several times each. The first comes from a book "Almost Christian" which states that most young Christians in America have basically traded true Christianity for a new religion/worldview called "moralistic, therapeutic deism." Another quote i have heard a lot the past few days is that most Christians in America hold to some form of "Christocentric universalism." We just may not realize this to be the case because the fundamentalist minority voice is so loud.
Do you think this is true? If it is, what does it mean for the future?
