Nice crystal ball you have there.

I reference most of the European countries that were founded by religious people of one sort or another. Made great and now as people stop believing, most of their populations are dying out because of birth control, abortion, less marriage and traditional families. I dont need a crystal ball, its happening right now. Europes native population is slowly dying out as it fails to reproduce. The fastest growth in the world is in third world countries and lots of them are more religious. Look at the middle east and parts of Africa, for example, or the way latinos are rapidly growing in size in the US. Those people are more likely to practice traditional religion. I dont think populations are growing anywhere that atheism is prominent, except maybe China. Thats the way it is, regardless of what I think.

Give it time.

Youve already had thousands of years of human existence, its like hundreds to zero at this point. Atheism doesnt inspire people or uplift the soul like God does. People say atheism is enlightenment, but wherever it spreads depression follows imo. Theres nothing beautiful about it, you get a short life and then you are dead forever. If thats the truth, ignorance is bliss imo. You could argue there are some good things about it. You could, i wouldnt. But depression has exploded in first world countries as religion gets stomped out. You probably think thats a phase or some social thing, but I think its because people feel an emptiness in their soul where God is supposed to be. Religion aside, believing in a God is a nice feeling. Average humans feel safer believing in something greater than themselves, thats why it worked over and over in history. Atheism hasnt proven itself on any level. What good has atheism done? You tell me, i would listen to your response.
