Is there another motivation for christian belief?

[RobertE]

The way I see it is this. As atheists we don't need to try and educate those who follow Christianity, Judaism or Islam. They are too far gone in their beliefs that nothing can be done. It is like trying to flog a dead horse. What should be done is the next generation and the way I see it, with each generation that is born, there are less and less Christians on the planet. However, more and more babies are being born under Islam and that has to be the target for atheists. For some atheists, it can be a conflict because they also believe in equality, against Islamophobia etc. For other atheists, it isn't a problem because they don't care about race but the belief system and as far as Europe is concerned, Christianity is dying a slow death and Islam is growing exponentially. So, we should tackle Islam and try and make it go the same way as Christianity;into non-existance.
