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.

Atheism is so self destructive. It starts off as liberating but soon turns into an obsession that eats away an your happiness the more you turn inward. The cycle feeds itself and soon you feel empty and hollow.

I think believing in God is fine, but believing in a religion like Christianity or Islam (or pretty much any of them) is retarded. I mean actually believing the mythology to be historically factual, not just following the teachings. Although following some teachings can be pretty retarded too (like cutting off your dick skin for no good reason).

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.

There is only one religion that has changed to world more than any other force, and is the accurate summation of hundreds of prophecies. Take that, and the fact that miracles continue to happen to this day in Christ's name (miracle of the sun, Fatima revelation, etc), and you find the only real answer you ever really need in life - that Christ is King.

Fair enough.
He's also an anti-theist. There are plenty of atheists who never talk about how they don't believe in God. Anti-theists are the ones who try to fight religion/promote atheism. Nothing wrong with being an anti-theist either IMO. Also I wouldn't consider anti-theism to be a religion as much as a social movement.

That doesn't mean the total amount of atheists is shrinking. Besides, the main reason that the relative size of atheism is shrinking is probably just that third world countries are growing, see pic. In first world countries, atheism is growing.
Third world, low IQ countries are more religious, which says a lot about religion.

No different than "God did it". And you have the same problem that you have no explanation for where God came from.
On top of that, being an Atheist does not mean you have some sort of core belief structure that everyone must share I.e. as an Atheist you must "believe" in the Big Bang: personally I think the Big Bang theory has a huge problem, and you nailed it: where did the initial energy come from and what caused the state change? That doesn't mean my only other option is "God did it", though.
Carter Watson

You mean, the quantum mechanics that formed at the genesis of the universe, along with every other fundamental force?
You see where your (((argument))) gets unstuck, right?
It's well accepted by modern Christians that God caused the Big Bang. 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?
Gabriel Wright
The Bible was heavily censored and plain rewritten under Constantine to fit his notion of Christianity. Furthermore many holy dates of todays Christianity are nothing more than renamed and rebranded Roman holidays such as Saturnalia that is today known as Christmas. Trusting mortals to comprehend and write down the word of God at face value is ridiculous. One thing that also bothered me is the fact that st Thomas' gospel is non canonical as it speaks of Jesus as a mortal and an ideolog rather than the son of God also ommiting the resurrection saying that Jesus died and was buried like every other human. My conclusion is that what we call God is the beginning of time and space which we are yet to understand (if it's even possible). He is used as an explanation for the inexplicable since we can not fathom the notion of something being created out of nothing. That is actually the the stone in the shoe for scientists and theologists alike, the fact that if God is the creator of everything where did God come from and if everything came to be from the singularity and the Big Bang again where did it come from? Kinda like the chicken or the egg paradox.

It's even more ultra-ironic that personal gods represent the beings who create them in their personification of an omnipotent creator, imagine our mono-theistic religion from the perspective of an alien race like the Jews, it's a completely false narrative that they themselves created, and it benefits us as a group but also neutralizes us for perfect goyim farming.

Taking the matrix pill seriously, and using evidence of Jewy Christ to justify your belief as a last resort to arguing against Christianity being another goyim farming scheme, Jesus isn't original, he's a character made from inspiration, and what a surprise that ripping shit off existed even in the times of antiquity.

James Fisher
>inescapable fact that you will die and that your consciousness will cease
Only atheists think in terms of science vs religion. Think of it this way, science is the measure and study of the physical using observation and experimentation. By it's very nature it cannot presume to offer any substantial view on the metaphysical. You cannot materially quantify the immaterial. It's like looking through a microscope and trying to find an atom of justice or a molecule of mercy.
I hope you see why you're being fallacious.
Miracles continue to happen in Christ's name to this day. The miracle of the sun and the Fatima revelations both happened with the last century, and I'm gonna have to side with the all powerful God of the universe over some faggot fedora on Sup Forums who watched a few amazing atheist videos and thinks he has it all figured out.

Any so-called Jew that refuses to acknowledge Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah is Satanic and anti-Christ. By God's point of view, the Jew is a chosen one of God that acknowledges his arrangements.
The ancient Jews were not (((Jews))). They were Israelites. What made Israelites unique was their genealogy. They could trace their lineages back to Abraham, Isaac and Israel. After the Seige of Jerusalem in 70 AD all geneaological records were destroyed and all Israelites disbanded. The (((Jews))) of our time are imposters who claim a link to the original Israelites but have none because they cannot trace their lineage back to them at all.
Jordan Johnson

That's because third world population is exploding, and they're mostly all religious (i.e muslims and Christian Africans and Mexicans, etc) The demographics that compromise the majority of athiests are just among shrinking populations (i.e whites in Northern Europe.)

Pretty sure if you claim nothign magically exploded into everything, for no reason, the burden of proof is on you.
I can state that the gospels are eye witness accounts of Christ's divinity, and that miracles are still performed to this day, and couple that with the fact that belief in the Risen Christ has changed the world more than any other force in history give me a fairly valid basis for claiming that Christ is God.
Meanwhile you have no real evidence for you claim.
So yeah, let's talk about burden of proof.

Newton explained gravity with a mental experiment: imagine a cannon on top of a massive mountain that fires a cannonball if there is no force pulling it down the ball would fly straight and would leave earth. So there you have it, science explaining the immaterial (gravity). >the shitty microscope argument Ever heard of linguistics? It's a god damn science brainlet that has nothing to do with anything material. >miracles happen in Christ's name >names 2 that "happened" a 100 years ago Really takes the old hammster wheel for a spin. >siding with the almighty Here we are at the beginning. Where did the energy (God) come from? Out of nothing? All the bible says is that in the beginning there was the word and God was the word and the word was god. So poof a wild God appears. Also I like how you ignored my original argument about Constantine and st Thonas' gospel. Last note I do not see a dichotomy as being religion vs science. I see it as anawering the same question but religion cheats in saying they have it all figured out and do not allow it to be questioned while science relies on questioning everything.
