> mostly because mainstream Christianity does not currently have many restrictions which inconvenience people day to day.
Note however that Islam has similar restrictions but an entirely different way to deal with them (respecting the spirit as well as their letter). My pet theory about the approach of the three main Abrahamic religions to restrictions:
1) Christianity: (loosely) respects the spirit but not the letter;
2) Islam: respects both the spirit and the letter.
