Its doing well because trumpets are conditioned marks....but......I could probably make the case that it is, myself.
Dead, that is. Atheism as a social phenomena has already convinced everyone who needs convincing of the things it take strongest issue with. It's ceased to be an active agent of objection and become part of thiests beliefs, too. We simply find ourselves in the twilight of overt dissonance. If reported god belief accounted for less than 10% of the us population in my own lifetime, I wouldn't be surprised. Witchdoctors have been pulling the fire alarm for years.
As they see it, we're already there.
