Right, but that's more from people recognizing the internal contradictions within the religion. Not because we don't have as much iconography around as op suggested.
Honestly, I think it is mostly that the majority of people don't care (and never did) and the people who do care lost the ability to push everyone who doesn't care into it with social pressure.
I think you are right, it mostly has to do with education and access to knowledge. Just about every human today has access to all of the world's knowledge through the internet. It makes it pretty difficult to avoid seeing those contradictions, even if you actively try to.
