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.
Sources for the legion of whiny /Redditor/ fedoras that will no doubt show up it this thread:
It's because rather than being atheist, smart people are becoming irreligious.

Pick one.
I'm an atheist because there aren't any gods. It's not about what you or other people do or don't believe. I don't care whether you agree with me, nor do I feel any need to try to convince anyone else to agree with me.
Facts don't need a vote.

Seems like a pretty big asterisk right there. Atheism and Christianity in the west(white countries) would be more interesting.
Not that I care. I'm an atheist, not an evangelist.

Most atheists don't even realize they are; because they consider themselves "spiritual" meaning they shop at Whole Foods and do yoga and go to the white Buddhist temple or something. There are a ton of these people in the states and they are usually the worst kind of liberal while still being completely self absorbed and unaware

>be born into a godless universe >forced to pretend to love lesser beings' imaginary friends Maybe we should stop giving retards personhood
Luis Ward
no it's because groups in ignorant backward countries like the middle east and africa are expanding most rapidly whilst the atheist maoist agenda in China is dying and religion is filling the void of culture.
Charles Harris
>be born >somehow cuck yourself into truly believing your life is meaningless and the universe is devoid of creativity or beauty You sound like you'll end up killing your self so why bother
Adrian Gutierrez
I wish more than anything that this were true in white countries, but really it's probably just that the white population is stagnant and shitskins are converting en-masse. Also China is skyrocketing in Christian converts.
Atheism is seriously a culture-disease. If I could wish one curse upon my enemies it would be atheism, and I would give ANYTHING to abolish it in the white race. Anything.
Ian Watson
You probably wouldn't give anything

It's a bit like Sisiphus and the rock, pushing the rock is the search for meaning, and the goal in and of itself.

Oh yeah how grand to be like Sisyphus :^) Also I have a strong suspicion that Camus' car "accident" was an intentional double suicide with his gay boyfriend.

Fucking this.
There are no good arguments for any "gods". Also, there is no further evidence to examine at this time; everything has been covered, and tested, and checked, and rechecked.
Proof for the resurrection of Jesus: youtube.com/watch?v=Z0tyVdnIU9A The first 30 minutes is what's important from this one, the rest is questions and answers.
Ex-atheist scientist tells his story of becoming Christian after realizing that the story of creation in Genesis actually makes the most sense and gets a lot of things right compared to other religious books: youtube.com/watch?v=dsbj7EN1Uzs
Cold case detective, former atheist analyzed the gospels using his skills and came to the conclusion that Christianity is the true religion and what is written in the New Testament is real. youtube.com/watch?v=IQmodO2quW0 youtube.com/watch?v=DiYQzOypD9o The videos are long, but they basically come down to this: 1. The chain of custody is sound, the story doesn't change over time. 2. There was stuff in the Bible that was later confirmed by archeology(places, people, etc.) 3. There are even non-believers' accounts of some stuff Jesus did, just from them you can know a lot about Jesus if you piece it all together. 4. The differences between gospels aren't a bad sign, because witnesses rarely agree on stuff. If every eyewitness would say the same thing, it would be very fishy and would mean they probably talked to each other at one point. 5. The apostles died without getting rich, getting a girlfriend or getting power, they all died horribly. There was no point in spreading Christianity if they didn't believe in it. Why would they risk their life if it wasn't true? Why would they risk their life if it was all forged? Why would Paul try to join this new small church? Also the only accounts of Romans getting Christians to change their faith was after the 1st century. No account of eyewitnesses ever changing their story.
Evan Kelly
Bullshit, a lot of Atheist theories bet proven false over time.
Gavin Barnes
Next time try evidence instead of youtube links.
Atheism is the claim that god doesn't exist. Please point out where it has been proven wrong. Someone both being an atheist and believing something that is wrong does not discredit atheism. Discrediting atheism would be proving that god exists. Pro-tip? You're not able to.
Jordan Cooper
Nice work m8, great contribution; I'll be waiting for examples.
I'm actually gonna check all this out, might take me a little while, but I'm gonna see how many holes find. Type em up, make it presentable and palatable. Should be fun. Thanks.
Tyler Phillips
The decline for atheism started when fedoras went back out of fashion around 2014.
John Cox
>Atheism is the claim that god doesn't exist.
This is incorrect.. Jesus fucking Christ, how are people still getting this wrong?
>Please point out where it has been proven wrong.
Learn about the burden of proof for unfounded claims.
Robert Campbell
Look into how the theory of evolution has changed so many times over the years. In the 90's it was considered 'rock solid' until a bunch of new discoveries shattered that. Yet to prove he doesn't exist. Atheists have made lots of mistakes in their claims however. A lot of things in the old testament that 20 years ago Atheists said never happened, like the great flood for example, have been proven to have actually happened.
Atheism is the search for truth in my opinion, and they still haven't hit the point to say God isn't real.
I've been thinking pretty hard for the last ten minutes and I can't think of anything that's mine to give that I wouldn't. I probably wouldn't give me soul, but that isn't mine, that belongs to God anyway.

This. Until someone gives me a legitimate reason to believe that God is real, I will base my life on the fact that there is no God or afterlife, and that life is merely a ride that should be enjoyed while it lasts.
You have to be retarded to believe in (((scripture))).

It's well accepted by modern Christians that God caused the Big Bang and evolution was the process he designed to form the physical body. It was first devised by Catholic Priest and Physcist George's Lemitre you understand.
Fedoras of the day hated the idea, because it points to the idea of a creator. All the cool atheists back then thought the universe was eternal. They had maths 'proving' it and everything. But then they realised LeMotre was right, and have spent the last 50 years trying to show how a Big Bang can happen without a creator. They gave up in the end as said 'well it's impossible to know how it happened, but we know what happened 0.0000002 seconds AFTER, so obviously it doesn't matter how it happened'
Can you see the irony?
Ayden Rogers
>Learn about the burden of proof
There's no such thing, it's a made up epistemological idea for the sake of convenience because most people just don't trust that a random thing a given person might say exists is so because they don't have strong reasons to in general. It's not something with any formal justification.
Colton Hernandez
As an atheist, I agree with this I find it embarrassing that so many are ignorant of this.
Carson Turner
The burden of proof is on the atheists though, since they're making the claim against a well known fact.
David Lee
The New Testament is eye witness account of God's divinity,comprised and re edited from several multiple sources.
If you have some evidence proving that it's a lie go ahead, but as they assertion has been made (that the new testament is eye witness account) the burden of proof is on you .
