Is the Holy Spirit Misleading You?

No, you have to distinguish between what you would like to see and what really is happening. There are more and more Christians in the world every year and atheism remains stagnant. Pew projects 750,000,000 more Christians (not even counting other religions) by 2050 and just 30,000,000 more atheists. That's 25:1. 

Come on Jehanne--you need to do better getting your compelling message out there! You're slacking!

Mark Twain once said, "There are lies, damned lies, and then there's statistics."  In Europe, Christianity is fast becoming a dead religion, and Biblical fundamentalism is a rarity.  Yes, in Africa and southeast Asia, Christianity is making inroads among the ignorant, poor and oppressed, but so is Islam.  In fact, Islam is growing, also, as the population grows!

Even if I grant that Christianity is not growing in Europe, what does that mean? That somehow Europeans have a monopoly on truth? reason? LOL. Tell me where Malcolm Muggeridge got it wrong:

“So the final conclusion would surely be that whereas other civilizations have been brought down by attacks of barbarians from without, ours had the unique distinction of training its own destroyers at its own educational institutions, and then providing them with facilities for propagating their destructive ideology far and wide, all at the public expense. Thus did Western Man decide to abolish himself, creating his own boredom out of his own affluence, his own vulnerability out of his own strength, his own impotence out of his own erotomania, himself blowing the trumpet that brought the walls of his own city tumbling down, and having convinced himself that he was too numerous, labored with pill and scalpel and syringe to make himself fewer. Until at last, having educated himself into imbecility, and polluted and drugged himself into stupefaction, he keeled over--a weary, battered old brontosaurus--and became extinct.” 

― Malcolm Muggeridge

What information do you hold that you think that the populations of Asia, Africa, and South America don't that makes them more susceptible to believing Christianity? 

Islam grows mainly out of forbidding a choice to its next generation. Hardly a measure of where the thoughts of the world's population are freely heading.
