I think it's also a result in a shift of the faith traditions. I'm not very religious, so I'm going to get some of this wrong but: there's been a shift in theological thinking in the US, where in the past good deeds were required as a demonstration of faith. With a lot of the mainstream evangelical churches, the belief is that accepting Jesus is the only requirement for salvation. I think that's why so much of #1 and #4 don't happen as much anymore. (corrections welcome, and I know there's a succinct summary for this contrast that I'm blanking on)
