Very much so. The same process is ongoing with Islam as well, although it’s pretty clear that it’s at a less advanced stage (or at least, that a higher percentage of Muslims are at a less advanced stage).
If by “at a less advanced stage” you mean “hopelessly stuck in the Dark Ages in accordance with Islamic religious teachings” then I agree with you. You should consider reading Irshad Manji’s “The Trouble With Islam” and/or Tarek Fatah’s “Chasing a Mirage: The Tragic Illusion of an Islamic State”.
