They don't count agnosticism, do they? Because that's what I think most people are becoming, rather than strictly religious, or strictly atheist.

Not true at all.

You don't need to believe in a magic sky man to have nourishment of the soul.

Atheism isn't designed to gain new "followers." It's influenced by cultural ideology in a similar vain to some forms of Buddhism. Meanwhile, religions like Islam and Christianity are designed to indoctrinate. The local culture influences its effectiveness, certainly, but the point is that they make much more effort to convert new members.

Most atheists are agnostic atheists.

I know self-described "agnostics" like to pretend theirs is a position separate from theism and atheism, but it wasn't originally. They just fucked up the word's meaning.

Edgy. If it really is declining, this is probably what's causing it.

Well, according to wikipedia 18,2 % of the US citizens are non - religious, and in europe it´s about a third of all the citizens.

I would also like to know your source, mine tells a different story.

You believe in God more because other people who didn't believe in God were mean to Christians?

That's pretty much the American way

Many will still identify in such polls as whatever they grew up with even if they don't practice or even believe anymore, though how much of that there is would also depend on what questions are asked.

There also seems to be some stigma with the label, especially in places like the US (compared to some other western countries, obviously not compared to countries where identifying that way can literally get you killed).


The number of atheists or non-religious people is rising. The problem is that often this happens later in life and religious people tend to have more babies.

Damn quiverfull movement. We've got religious wackos like the Duggars pushing out like 20 kids and brainwashing all their daughters to be baby making machines for their husbands.

Atheism is never going to go away since it is the result of the failings of modern religions to begin with.

I don't understand religious people. No one knows what happens after death and that's fine really, because all the religions would really suck. I have no problem with it being a mystery, I don't want to be an arrogant ass and pretend I have the answers.

It's more believable than a baby being conceived without sperm, resurrections, and magic water.
