THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN

Nope. Atheism doesn't offer a higher power that murderers and rapists can go to to relieve themselves of all guilt. It doesn't offer something that will always listen and be there when you need it and you can ignore when you don't need it. It doesn't provide a description of how you are supposed to live and the consequences for not living that way. And finally the facts that people base their beliefs on when atheists are not open to interpretation. You can change the meaning to suit your needs. It is what it is. So no. It will never take over Christianity or any religion. People need their eye in the sky to make excuses for them.

That's not very likely. It is much more likely that Christianity will destroy atheists... and agnostics... and anybody else who does not 'conform'.
Christian 'Dominionists' (Reconstructionalists, theonomists) have largely usurped the local level political apparatus of the Republican Party, and are engaged in a sub rosa process to politically motivate moderate Christians under the false cover of religious issues such as morality and family values. The goal is nothing less than the takeover of all elective offices in the USA.
Their doctrine comes from the Bible, starting with the term 'dominion' at Genesis 1:28... “And God said unto them, [Adam and Eve] Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have DOMINION… over every living thing.” They interpret DOMINION as: “... a supremacy in determining and directing the actions of others or in governing politically, socially, or personally.”
They want to remake the USA as a theocracy... and they are succeeding.
Its most common form, Dominionism, represents one of the most extreme forms of Fundamentalist Christianity thought. Its followers, called Dominionists, are attempting to convert the laws of United States so that they match those of the Hebrew Scriptures. They intend to achieve this by using the freedom of religion in the US to train a generation of children via home-schooling and in private Christian religious schools. Later, their graduates will be charged with the responsibility of creating a new Bible-based political, religious and social order. One of the first tasks of this order will be to eliminate religious choice and freedom. Their eventual goal is to achieve the "Kingdom of God" in which much of the world is converted to Christianity. They feel that the power of God's word will bring about this conversion. No armed force or insurrection will be needed; in fact, they believe that there will be little opposition to their plan. People will willingly accept it. All that needs to be done is to properly explain it to them.
All religious organizations, congregations etc. other than strictly Fundamentalist Christianity would be suppressed. Nonconforming Evangelical, main line and liberal Christian religious institutions would no longer be allowed to hold services, organize, proselytize, etc. Society would revert to the laws and punishments of the Hebrew Scriptures. Any person who advocated or practiced other religious beliefs outside of their home would be tried for idolatry and executed. Blasphemy, adultery and homosexual behavior would be criminalized; those found guilty would also be executed. There are two conservative Christian pastors in Texas who have advocated the execution of all Wiccans. Ralph Reed, the executive director of the conservative public policy group the Christian Coalition has criticized Reconstructionism as "an authoritarian ideology that threatens the most basic civil liberties of a free and democratic society."
Wake up. Take a stand. Do something. By allowing this insidious agenda to progress, we are sowing the seeds of our own destruction, while these religious nut-jobs are paving the way to Armageddon with gleeful anticipation.

True Christians are messengers or witnesses of the Almighty True God Jehovah. Where atheists and agnostics make a serious mistake, is in their assuming that their real war is with Christians. If what Christians tell you about the fact that their is a God is true, then do you really believe that it is Christians that you need to be worried about? Jehovah will make Himself known to all mankind in due time. Stop arguing with Christians, you obviously are not getting anywhere, and your only frustrating yourself. If it is true that God does not exist, then an application of that belief in your daily life should reflect the benefits of not believing in God.

Often times change in the church is prompted by things outside the church. As to destroy christianity not likely, even the Romans were unable to do that, just drove it underground.
If you are an atheist why are you in the Religion & Spirituality section anyway, wouldn't you be happier doing something / anything else?

Christianity is a matter of faith. As long as one person believes, it exists. And Christians are famous for ignoring facts in favor of their belief. I mean, there aren't TOO many Christians that believe the Universe revolves around the Earth anymore, but they'll stand there and argue that the Bible is the word of God and therefore always right.

No. Christians outnumber atheists, first off. Second, destroying Christianity would be like starting a new world order or somethin, you really want war and people to die just because you're a bitter little man.

Most athiests I know have no desire to "destroy" Christianity or any other religion. They just want to be left alone and not preached to by anyone.......

It's not our way to rise and destroy anything but false notions. The rise and destroy move is decidedly Muslim and Judeo-christian to be sure. peace

no, they will think so during the tribulation after the Christians are gone, and the new ones are persecuted, but Jesus will come and destroy them. Any triumph they feel will be very short lived.
