So much so that in some countries atheism is the majority. However on the global scale theism still dominates atheism. We do see the young are far less likely to be theists, and the numbers of atheists there lend support to my idea that theism is dying. So the question is this at what year do you think atheism will become the majority on the global stage?


That is as utopia in thought as any religion thinking it will dominate the world. The problem with our species has always been the majority of our 7 billion pass down the stories, traditions, motifs, religions of their parents to the kids. I don't see that ever going away.

I can see a more secular world like the west has fostered, but not a perfectly godless world ever.

There are even today, just like L Ron Hubbard a si fi writer started Scientology, there are today Star War's fans seeking legal government representation as an official religion.

Even in the age of the internet, crap get's sold, otherwise Trump would not be president.
