I sure hope so.
I would expect that most of the world's religions will be dead within 5 generations.

Islam would claim the 'honour' and this is understandable when they are breeding fast and the offspring have no choice BUT to become muslim. The children are effectively forced into the system. Other belief systems do something similar, of course, indoctrinating the children into the parents' choice but these children do not fear the threat of death if they decide not to partake. Globally, atheism is definitely growing very fast but, as we atheists do not concentrate on brainwashing our kids into one lifestyle or another or with a sword poised over their necks if they ask too many questions, the rate of growth is a little slower. You are right in that there are more and more atheists turning up on these pages. We are not afraid to speak out against the archaic god-concept and a lot of us are not from the bible-belt of the anomaly in the western world that is the US. North-west Europe is the hub of the most-atheist countries and the third world is the centre of the most religious. Where does this place the US? As a third-world country.

Statistics are tricky. Consider this - if I start a brand new religion and then find 2 people to join me then I have experienced 200 percent growth in a matter of minutes. That would make me the faster growing religion in the world, won't it.
I suspect, unfortunately, that atheism has a long, long way to go before it is a major force in the world.

in today's world if it was i would not question why. maybe people don't neccessarily need a certain religion, god or being to bow to but people definitely need a direction to better themselves and what we do.

sounds good I guess we shall see. Freud thought religion would have totally declined by now yet it is still strong.

I have never see any stats on this claim. Nor do I think there is any to be shown.

I have never actually heard this. Although it would be great if it was.

I sure hope that it is! It would be a blessing from God.
