"Some denominations are still evangelical, but most are not especially trying to convert."

In the US anyway --- aren't the most evangelical (and, I'd argue, authoritarian) of the denominations (such as the Southern Baptists) the only ones who are still growing? ...While the less evangelical denominations are shrinking?

<<but that it was easier for Christianity to envision a separation, based on Scripture, than for Islam.>>

Christianity is 600 years older than Islam.

600 years ago the Crusades were coming to an end and the Spanish Inquisition was going strong.

I'm sure you realize that the Pope was a head of state who commanded an army and that the idea of the Divine Right of Kings persisted right up to the American Revolution.
