I mean you could blame this on various factors and the fact even war and even ISIS.
Religion is getting a very bad reputation and most people nowadays would rather have a personal relationship with
sky daddy rather than follow a mindset that caused so much issues. I guess people are starting to finally grow the hell up
rather slowly though. Yeah, it's one thing to count numbers (x% are catholic in Italy, etc.) But I think if you look around the world at CHANGES, there probably are almost no countries where faith-based world views aren't reduced in the newer generations.

Where poverty is great so is ignorance. And religion needs ignorance like a vampire needs blood.

We should start helping the third world become advance and help them and i mean truly help them and not let the vulures get to them and their culture.

I would say it has to do with education, most of the 1st world countries have a higher percentage of Atheist and some of the European countries (which I would say have some of the best educations) are majority Atheist. As education and liberation becomes more available in religious run countries the numbers there will probably reflect the same thing. Because when you are no longer forced to believe in a religion, you'll start to realize that being devout is just an inconvenience.

How?
Much of Africa is in the throes of continuing desiccation. What they need is rain - not religion. Instead much of Africa is stuck with this "Insh'allah" bullshit which basically means 'fuck off - be happy with what you've got.' Adding in xtian bullshit is just icing on a double-layer shit cake.

Then fox news becomes a even greater comedy show with them panicking on live TV and over dramatizing everything with their religion.

There is an upside to this for us christians though. Myself and maybe a hundred other christians will remain in the USA, but not only will we get to live in the resulting atheist utopia, but we'll still get to still go to heaven afterwards.

They need less of that xtian bullshit and need real help. I mean modern agriculture techniques and technology they can food readily. I mean the things that they would require obviously needs money. I mean people donate and send money so hungry kids can eat but we should also be helping them get self sufficient as well and at least get them started with something.

No and no all the "true" Christians do not exist anymore. I mean if god existed he doesn't love cherry pickers not one bit.

Maybe in the West. If you've been to Eastern Europe you know we're always backwards.
Where I live young people slowly stop believing in god, but they remain practicing Christians, because they're afraid of their family's reaction or simply because they can't be bothered. Honestly, everyone who isn't a catholic here is going to have a hard time.
I hope I live to see the day this changes. But that's just wishful thinking.
