We had a numbers game in the past when the world was flat and everything circled the Earth.
Easy answers are not equivalent to accurate solutions.
Okay, but it is evidence that this line of thinking (that atheism is prevailing against religion) is silly and unsupported.
I have no numbers on that. I know soft atheism is getting stronger in England. Silly ideas persist by the handful also. I am sure I hold a handful of silly ideas also. I hope to weed them out when the evidence is presented.
I ain't too bright, just a Cockney boy making good with the South Saxons.

Sorry, honest answer.
In parts of the world I am sure religiosity may be growing.
More interested in why and what they believe and how it's changed.
Revolution and evolution, not rationalism, education, skepticism, equality and openness.
