If you look at the current snapshot you could get that impression. But that would be tunnel vision of course. Because if you juxtapose the theists/atheists figures of today to the situation 1 and 2 centuries ago an entirely different picture will emerge.
Atheism – hand in hand with science, education, and emancipation – is like a glacier. It appears frozen, but it does move. And it never stops. For anything. And eventually it erodes and flattens entire mountain ranges.
