What date do you estimate atheism will overtake theism in the world population

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?

I think that those who voted "never" are simply dead wrong.  Your question is akin to asking, "When will heliocentricism take-over geocentricism?"  Many in the 15th-century would have replied, "Never," also; ditto for theism.
