Judging from the surveys conducted all over Europe and America it may seem that a modern man not only does not need any religion but also do without it very well. However, this is only the surface; the problem has to be taken into more profound consideration before we reach any conclusion. 
The facts are that more and more people stopped attending the mess long time ago. The reasons for that are numerous and make the problem more complex. Without any doubt, the blame should be put on the priests who are much more preoccupied with their own luxurious lives than with helping believers. Although priests are men and they are not infallible , their sins are becoming more and more frequent and egregious. Whats more, instead  of confessing the sins they tend to reject all the claims. Such behaviour contributes  to their isolation and the negative opinion about them. They also become less reliable. It is said that also the general doctrine is not appropriate any more for the modern society which has changed considerably in recent years. Therefore the problems of euthanasia, abortion, homosexuality , women in Church etc., raise a lot of controversy.
Despite this crisis of Christianity, people still need some kind of spiritual experience. As Catholic Church is not able to fulfil  this desire, there are many others that are ready to do it. We can observe the rapid growth in the interest of new religion group or even cult group which aim at attracting as much people as possible. Lost people - those for whom Christianity hasn't appeared to be the solution - choose Kabala, New Age or more radical groups. The number of people joining to such cult groups reflects that everyone has the great need for some kind of religion. 
To sum up,  I strongly believe that all people have the need for spiritual experience. If they cannot fulfil  their desires in the Christianity, they will be attracted by other bona fide  religions or cult groups.
