Liberal Christianity is the smartest of all forms of Christianity, and I suspect liberal Christians tend to be smarter than more conservative Christians.
Every “religion”, especially its more reformist strands, with the advance of universal or objective morals [philosophy] and science, tries to adapt to the new reality.
If before, Christianity considered that paradise existed above the clouds, especially now, when human knowledge shows us that the universe is much larger and not anthropocentric, it has adopted the narrative of intelligent design, to survive its own obsolescence.

I agree that other religions modernize to stay relevant. Critics say that Islam could do with more modernization.
