Atheism is on the rise around the world :

so does that mean spirituality will soon be a thing of the past ?

A growing number of people, millions worldwide, say they believe that life definitively ends at death

– that there is no God, no afterlife and no divine plan.

And it’s an outlook that could be gaining momentum – despite its lack of cheer.

In some countries, openly acknowledged atheism has never been more popular.

There’s absolutely more atheists around today than ever before :

both in sheer numbers and as a percentage of humanity...........

I don't see religion disappearing.


Frankly, I see atheism as the new fad, you know like veganism, pants on the ground etc.


What I would love to see is religions doing what they ought to be doing, promoting peace instead of war.

According to a Gallup International survey : click !  ;)

More than 50,000 people in 57 countries, the number of individuals claiming to be religious

fell from 77% to 68% between 2005 and 2011

while those who self-identified as atheist rose by 3%

– bringing the world’s estimated proportion of adamant non-believers to 13%.  :-[

13% is not enough to make religion disappear.

While atheists certainly are not the majority :

could it be that these figures are a harbinger of things to come ?

Assuming global trends continue might religion someday disappear entirely ?

BUT even if religions should disappear (will never happen), that in itself will not make belief in God or in a high power disappear.




Not subscribing to a religion, and not believing in God, are two different things altogether.  When you are daily subjected to all the evil that man do in the name of religion, it's is very easy to wish religion away.
