Atheism is the fastest shrinking religion in the world. Atheism is in decline worldwide, with the number of atheists falling from 4.5% of the world's population in 1970 to 2.0% in 2010 and projected to drop to 1.8% by 2020,
Real surveys and statistics say atheism is on the decline worldwide. Sorry atheists but atheism is not on the rise nor is it winning. It's still the minority and a declining one at that.
The Pew Research Center's statistics show that atheism is expected to continue to decline all the way into 2050 with a continued growth of religion. Other research also shows a huge surge in growth for Christianity in China which is currently the world's most "atheist" nation because of the atheist communist government suppressing religion, the research suggests that China will soon become the world's most Christian nation within 15 years.
This is simply history repeating itself: Christianity prospered in Rome back in the ancient era when it was suppressed and it still grew in the militant atheist soviet Russia when it was suppressed there only a century ago with the majority of Russians today now also identifying as Christian. Just goes to show that atheist suppression of religion still doesn't stop religion.

Even the Catholic Church accepts evolution as fact and has done for decades.
Literally the only ""Christians"" that don't are burgers that no actual Christian denomination recognises.
Grayson Long
Provided they stay over there who gives a fuck.
Atheists on the other hand are social poison, and spread feminism, communism and homosexuality in whatever society they infest.
Oh, and refugee living, so they bring those very muslims into the country.
Atheists are disgusting and I'm glad they're going.

Superstition is a trait of niggers and other subhumans. Do you really want to stay blue-pilled on this just because some nerd hurt your feelings?
Anthony Hall
Agnosticism is the thinking mans choice
Ryan Fisher
it's not like i want to be an atheist
it's just that there are so many religions that it seems like noone knows what the fuck is going on and is just picking the one his parents had
Gabriel Reed
Without religion people just don't breed.. Not sure why but ita a fact
>inb4 muh Poland exception
Societies can survive anything, economic and social crisis, just not spiritual. That society paradigm will shift and replace those people

I'm fine with christians, can we get an atheist-christian coalition against the sandnigger death cult running?

Most of them vote Conservative and voted for Brexit here.
Logan Howard
>number of atheists falling from 4.5% of the world's population in 1970 to 2.0% in 2010
These arent good metrics to use as most of that data could be explained by the fall of communism in the soviet union and to a lesser extent in China.
Likewise you are making the mistake of someone ticking christian on a census box to being an actual christian.
This is why even though atheism is supposedly declining churches are growing disproportionately gray and empty.
Jordan Torres
>atheism will die out >implying that atheism is a own religion
atheism is the lack of religion. not a religion on itself. it's like "shadow" ist just the lack of light and "cold", the lack of warmth.
Levi Baker
Compared the atheism downward trend to the IQ downward trend. Investigate the source of the IQ downward trend.
Congratulation : you successfully correlated religiosity and being a nigger ( literally, most of the time ). Genocide of all subhumans would put atheism at around 40% easily.
Isaac Miller
That is some weak ass bait Canada. Up your game son
Jordan Garcia
Wait this board is against atheism? Wtf? I mean I'm an agnostic but I don't see any point in supporting any kind of religion, I thought we got over the religion meme a long time ago
Connor Miller
>I don't believe in God What now?
Jordan Green
>all belief is religious I find it very telling that theists insist on making atheism a religion. This attempt to bring "them down to our level" is indicative of guilt, it's almost as if the theist would find their position more easily defensive if they could claim "see, you're just as religious as I am!"
It's an admission of guilt, really, and a strawmen to boot, because you're not allowing the atheist to define their own position. R
Carter Reed

This is gery true sadly, no young people to renew and continue specially
Not sure if i believe this atheism falling meme, the amount of pseudo catholics and fake christians skew the results

can you clarify? we are religious and breed okay-ish, im curious about what you mean

Atheism is shrinking because Islam is growing, retard

Whenever you bring up religious societies with high fertility rates someone (usually a austrian) comes in saying how people dont know how to analyze statistics and that in reality you people arent really multiplying that much despite being very religious compared to the West

It's in decline because Atheism is a mental disorder only found in post-modern white people.

Charles Clark
Oh I wasn't disagreeing or anything. Just something I'm continuously pointing out when people say "agnostic atheist" as some pathetic shield against le hat posters.
Christian Myers
belief noun an acceptance that something exists or is true, especially one without proof. >without proof Reminder that you too are saying something without proof. Just because we will never know if God exists, doesn't mean you can either. If Atheists just shut up and kept to themselves, then they probably wouldn't be a shrinking religion.
Wyatt Turner
Nothing. As long as you don't go full retard, believing it's something between theism and atheism. You either believe in God or not. People claiming >HURR I'm above you all pleb I'm a neutral agnostic DURR are just twats trying to take the safe middle ground.
Jaxson Ramirez
It's not theism, I get that.
What's wrong with taking a safe middle ground? I'm not going to explicitly deny your god because I genuinely don't know.
Ian Hill
>a jew defending atheism
Fucking typical parasite trash
Ethan Allen
There's nothing wrong with being agnostic, but there's something a little bit wrong with responding "agnostic" to do you believe in God, because it's not an answer to the question.

>deny Religion isn't about denying or approving. If that would be so, it wouldn't be a religion. It's about belief. You either believe in God or not. End of story.
Logan Rodriguez
So now you're moved the goalposts from "atheism is a religion" to "atheism is a belief without proof". Alright, but atheism is not a belief that God for sure can't exist, it's a rejection of various religious beliefs. You don't need a reason not to believe in God, you need a reason to believe that God exists or doesn't exist.
kek, I've had this argument 9 years ago, why is this meme still alive?
Brayden Nguyen
>Most of them vote Conservative and voted for Brexit here. :^) Most of them voted Corbyn 4 Prez without realising that they aren't in his constituency.
Robert Davis
>Atheism >Religion Atheism is common sense ahmed. Look around you. Do people look like they take desert religion seriously? All people worship today is technology, followed by SJW cancer and islam, and worship of nation (us). Real Christians (not cultural christians) are a dying breed.
Austin Stewart
>heh, maybe I can make it look like atheism isn't a death cult by redefining the words
Nicholas Lee
How are there still atheists after the power of an ancient egyptian chaos god was clearly and evidently borrowed to meme a humble TV steak salesman into office and defeat the forces of moloch? If they still don't know that there are powers at work beyond the veil, why don't atheists just take a trip to /x/ and learn how to conjure a minor demon for themselves? Are they just afraid of being objectively wrong?
Sebastian Phillips
>why is this meme still alive? Because atheists, along side most other left wing movements struggle to do any kind of reasoning beyond chanting mantras. They even still try and "disprove" creationism despite the fact that it is by definition unfalsifiable.
Eli Watson
Good. Atheism is a cancer to our species that should die out.
Camden Peterson

Are there any devout Christians that really try to follow Jesus's teachings down to the letter? Only in places like Jerusalem I can find Jews that devote their lives to serving God, you only get that kind of fervor in closed communities that aren't exposed to secular culture. Do such places exist for Christians?
Dylan Cox
Just because it's unfalsifiable doesn't mean it isn't true - which is why it's redundant for professional atheists to try and "disprove" it.
Ryder Jenkins
mostly in europe, they got monks living in the woods and shit
Nolan Hughes
>Just because it's unfalsifiable doesn't mean it isn't true No, it only means that it's meaningless. I give you that a lot of atheists approach the argument from all sorts of retarded and ineffectual angles. The theist arguments tend to be resistant to reality and either work or don't work on a a purely metaphysical level.
Isaiah Clark
Not believing in shit isnt a religion I am not leading a religious cult of the SANTA non-believers
Alexander Bell
It's genocide I tell you!! Save the Atheists!
Jaxon Mitchell
>No, it only means that it's meaningless. So is any origin theory. Creation only deals with initial conditions, not dynamics. It's unfortunate that evolution has come to mean two different things - a theory of dynamics and a theory of initial conditions.

Is this about gnostic atheists or all atheists?
Leo Rodriguez
I have a feeling that this is because the proportion of Westerners is shrinking compared to the rest of the world by the day. I'm an Atheist but I like Christian traditions, hyms etc. I would never be a dick or question someone's faith.
That is the problem with many atheists, they can't believe in God themselves so they refuse to see the value that religion adds to a population. They can't recognise the empty void left in an atheist society.
