Urban Christianity!

I was aware of Paul's urban strategy. However, why is it that today it seems people often view Christianity as the faith of the rural country church folks who attend the "little brown church in the vale"?
Found this statement surprising as I am Assuming it's true!

"

There is another point worth mentioning that has to do with Paul's church planning strategy. Paul was an urban church planter. For the most part, he bypassed the rural areas and ignored the small communities. Instead, he went directly to the major urban areas. He concentrated on planting indigenous churches in influential cities that had large populations.

It is for this reason that the word pagan has come to refer to non-Christian people. The word pagan is derived from the ancient word for Farmer, which means country dweller. (A similar etymology lies behind word heathen. The heathens were those who lived in the 'heath', i .e., out in the country.)
Christianity was rarely successful outside the cities of the ancient world. Because our faith is inherently relational, the church was unable to successfully take route inside of urban settings. In urban areas, Christians could see one another in their day-to-day lives and easily care for one another. In the countryside, believers were more isolated from each other. Therefore, they had a difficult time fleshing out the 'one anothers' that the New Testament so often emphasizes. Consequently, Christianity has always been dominantly urban."
