Atheism losing adherents in terms of the global population

The 2004 to 2007 publicity campaign for atheism in the Western World was not sustainable. The level of public interest in atheism is not coming back in the West and global atheism is shrinking.

You should probably find some sources other than Evangelical Christians aka Liars for Jesus.

The demographics of atheists and non-religious continue to climb in 1st world nations.

The gains of religion have been occurring almost exclusively within the 3rd world.

Unless you happen to live in a 3rd world nation, KJV, your religion is dwindling.

Study: Atheists Have Lowest 'Retention Rate' Compared to Religious Groups

Why is this surprising? Non-religious parents do not indoctrination their children into their beliefs the same way that the religious do.

Young Christians or Muslims are told, from a young age, that leaving the religion will result in them BURNING IN HELL.

Young people raised by non-religious parents are given no such 'lessons'.

Your study also showed that most atheists are people who became them as adults. In other words, through RATIONAL THOUGHT, rather than childhood indoctrination.

No link but the sources is listed on this one.
"The CIA World Factbook gives the world population as 7,021,836,029 (July 2012 est.) and the distribution of religions as
Christian 33.35%(of which Roman Catholic 16.83%, Protestant 6.08%, Orthodox 4.03%, Anglican 1.26%), Muslim 22.43%,
Hindu 13.78%,
Buddhist 7.13%,
Sikh 0.36%,
Jewish 0.21%,
Baha'i 0.11%,
other religions 11.17%,
non-religious 9.42%,
atheists 2.04%"
Wow. A whole 2.04% you guys are kicking some ass. LOL

The non-religious group as well as a good chunk of the Buddhist group are atheists. So more like 13-14%. Even higher in the Western world.

I thought conservapedia was just a parody site until they started blocking non-US traffic. Then I knew it was.

Atheists are more intelligent than religious people
Writing in the Freethinker (July 2008) Chris Barker argues that there is nothing racist about suggesting that atheists are more intelligent than believers.

IT was bound to happen. When Professor Richard Lynn claimed last month that people with higher IQs were less likely to believe in God many of those outraged by his assertion quickly tried to give his words a racist cast.

Professor Lynn, Emeritus Professor of Psychology at Ulster University, said many more members of the “intellectual elite” considered themselves atheists than the national average. A decline in religious observance over the last century was directly linked to a rise in average intelligence, he claimed.

Professor Lynn, who has provoked controversy in the past with research linking intelligence to race and sex, said university academics were less likely to believe in God than almost anyone else.

A survey of Royal Society fellows found that only 3.3 per cent believed in God – at a time when 68.5 percent of the general UK population described themselves as believers. A separate poll in the 90s found only seven percent of members of the American National Academy of Sciences believed in God.

Professor Lynn said most primary school children believed in God, but as they entered adolescence – and their intelligence increased – many started to have doubts.

He told The Times Higher Education magazine:

Why should fewer academics believe in God than the general population? I believe it is simply a matter of the IQ. Academics have higher IQs than the general population.

Several Gallup poll studies of the general population have shown that those with higher IQs tend not to believe in God.

My problem with the CIA World Factbook is that, unlike every other source of U.S. government statistics that I know of, they provide no metadata--no indication of who collected the data or how it was analyzed. For that reason, I regard it as a less reliable source of religion statistics than the Pew Forum or the American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS).

We could also use Dim's logic when faced with statistics showing religious belief among US prisoners:

derek4 wrote:

It seems very hard to conclude that atheists are under-represented in American prisons. They may, or may not, have failed to mention their atheism to authorities. In other words, the statistics are inconclusive.

Sorry, my mistake. Dim doesn't come up with his own ideas, he copies and pastes other peoples thinking.

Ah, the magic decoder ring apologetic, how lame!

Blessed are the weak minded as they are easily controlled by the scam of religion(s). Their gullibility and sheep mentality makes it real easy to keep them content with being poor by promising a paradise in some next life. Snake oil salesmanship at it's finest.

Poor baby! Can't handle Christian based proof?

Why do you waste so much time trying to prove God doesn't exist? I don't waste anytime proving gremlins don't exist. I could not care less if someone said they did exist. You fight God only because you know he's real. It's the only thing that could explain your obsession with it.

[Givemeliberty]

Going by that logic you must believe macro evolution to be accurate and true.

Again Christian opinion websites are not a bias free source so they are rightfully ignored. Any bias free verified source for your ignorant statement? The same one that claims agnostics do not exist?

christians were gassing the jews, and non believers, in the 2nd world warThe Holocaust was caused by Christian fundamentalism:



History is currently being distorted by the millions of Christians who lie to have us believe that the Holocaust was not a Christian deed. Through subterfuge and concealment, many of today’s Church leaders and faithful Christians have camouflaged the Christianity of Adolf Hitler and have attempted to mark him an atheist, a pagan cult worshipper, or a false Christian in order to place his misdeeds on those with out Jesus. However, from the earliest formation of the Nazi party and throughout the period of conquest and growth, Hitler expressed his Christian support to the German citizenry and soldiers.
