This will influence a small percentage, but not the masses. Any and all visibility of religious scams increases the odds of converting someone. Add to that some visibility of a non-religious lifestyle and good role models as such and living without religion becomes more normalized. Look at it this way, just a few hundred years ago, living openly as an atheist was almost impossible. 100 years ago it was possible but with a lot of ostracism and discrimination. Now we are still reviled but mostly live however we want. Perhaps the next hundred years will bring more improvement.
Why is it so?
