This is what we call projection. You enjoy being exposed as a liar. Intellectually dominated. But you somehow keep projecting that to me.

Atheists are expected to grow in millions by the pew research, yet you are here claiming that atheism is in decline. LIES

Im yet to see any atheist intellectually dominate me but if imagining that excites you as well then I'll let you have it .

When compared to the global population , they are in a massive decline . I also understand that comprehending English is not your strong suit , so you can take all the time bro .

How daft. They are not in a massive decline.
=====================================================
DECLINE;
1.
(typically of something regarded as good) become smaller, fewer, or less; decrease.
"the birth rate continued to decline"
=====================================================



The atheist population is expected to grow but not as fast as the rate of the total population growth. Ogbeni, learn the difference between "declining" and "not growing fast".

But wetin concern me, future advancement in science will most likely make mainstream religions redundant.

Lol . The witches in Wicca describe magic as the law of nature not yet understood by contemporary science. A future advancement in science is therefore a welcome development to witchcraft.

Wikipedia definition of Magic: Magic or sorcery is the use of rituals, symbols, actions, gestures, and language with the aim of utilizing supernatural forces.

How the Bleep does scientific discovery and magic correllate, what then makes it magic?

That is an artificial decline because the number of atheists is still growing.

U still dey repeat this thing. I just address logical issues, i've told you this a thousand times.

BTW, what "facts" are you talking about?
Do you know what makes up a "fact", are you classifying that constrained statistical analysis as "fact"?

Even at that the analysis goes in contrast to what you're trying to portray.

Atheists were 4.5 percent of the world population as at 1970 and the population of the world has doubled since then and by 2020 , the atheist population will be 1.8 percent of the world population.

If you don't know that that's a massive decline then you need to stop mentioning me my brother. grin

I already addressed this before. I'm talking of atheists alone not agnostics or people without religion who are very most likely theists (deists and agnostics ) . And the religious nones are declining when compared to the world's population by 2050 - theses a sniped post from Pew Research in the previous page to buttress this . You are making me repeat myself uncessarily my brother

But bro , you do realize that man has the propensity or is hardwired to be religious . Man also has strong emotional ties to his religious beliefs . So your claim is totally incongruous with the nature of man .

Man is more of an emotional being than a rational one and coupled with his propensity to be religious ? I don't see any level of science advancement that would make man disabuse himself of his religious beliefs .

I mean can you compare the level of superstitious beliefs anywhere to what Asians have ? Yet they are seemingly at the helm of scientific and technological advancement . Look at Islamic states like Dubai , they recently appointed a minister for artifical intelligence and with the level of scientific and technological advancement going on there they are still intransigent with their religious beliefs . Even many citizenx of European countries who claim to be less religious depend so much on revelations made by horoscopes , psychic reading and the likes .

No matter what, man will be drawn to what appeals to his nature - this is a fact .

More fallacy. Religion isn't natural to man. If it is then tell me the name of man's natural religion.

Those born in atheist homes in denmark, what "religious beliefs" do they have emotional ties to?


Man is more of an emotional being than a rational one and coupled with his propensity to be religious ? I don't see any level of science advancement that would make man disabuse himself of his religious beliefs .
Wow, address the above first for clarification.


I mean can you compare the level of superstitious beliefs anywhere to what Asians have ? Yet they are seemingly at the helm of scientific and technological advancement .

Stop this generalisation, these beliefs are only among the religious, whether they stay in a country with scientific advancement or not and not with those that disassociate themselves with religion.
Can you imagine Richard Dawkins or Dan Barker under those circumstances.


No matter what, man will be drawn to what appeals to his nature - this is a fact .
It is therefore not a fact because the hypothesis does not apply to every part of the population.

If in 2017 you haven't read various studies which have revealed that man is hardwired to be religious then you should stop using the Internet.

The surfeit evidence is man having too many religions since the beginning of human existence.
