Doesn't it seem certain that in this century theistic belief will outnumber all other religions?

Question

And by the next century they will all be outgrown by Atheism? This is the way I see world religion going. Religions will become more violent trying to hang on to what they have left. Christians will be drawing little fishes in obscure places as a sigh they still exist?

Answer 1

I disagree. Atheism is not a new thing. It has been around for a long time, obviously, but people will always hang on to thier beliefs of God. God gives us hope and atheism does not offer that. Any religion, for that matter, gives people reasons to live. So I feel people will always hang on to religion.

Answer 2

Atheism is indeed growing fast. Just a few decades ago you could have been arrested for saying you were atheist. But now, every major city in America has atheist societies, groups, clubs and even magazines and newspapers.

Until 9/11, church attendance in America was taking a nose-dive. Since 9/11 it's back up, but over the last two years, it is falling again.

Religion is dying, slowly but surely. And so are the old-fark conservative fanatics like Bush and his clan.

Answer 3

And then spirituality will reign after that century.

Answer 4

All I have to say is AAAAAmen to that.

Believer to non-believer: 'You remind me of a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat.'
Non-believer to believer: 'Well, you remind me of a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that doesn't even exist.'

Answer 5

For the sake of the world, let's hope so.
