Christian and Atheism Worldwide Demographics: Current Realities and Future Trends.

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

When one chooses a leader democratically, why is the person who gets a Majority of votes the Winner? Because, one of the qualities a leader and his ideology must demonstrate is the ability to appeal to a significant majority of the population. No one is saying, Christianity is True just because a majority of the population profess it. There are other distinct arguments for the Truth of Christian Theism, like Messianic Prophecies that Jesus Christ fulfilled, and the Historical Evidence for His Resurrection, beside documented healing Miracles that have taken place in His Name, which is what has happened in Africa, for e.g.. Nonetheless, Atheism's inability to appeal to a significant population, especially a significantly diverse population, is telling.

If someone is at 33% in the polls, and another 3%, and even that limited small percentage within non-diverse demographics, everyone would logically assume the former had better appeal, and spoke to the deepest desires of the human heart, especially if that 33% was drawn from people of every caste, race, ethnicity, race, culture and language. It is not the sole deciding factor by any means, but it is still a noteworthy criterion. That 360 MN Christians prefer to be persecuted for Christ's Name rather than renounce Him, under Atheism, Islamism and Hindutva extremism, is also noteworthy.

God Bless.

You implied exactly that when you said:

So, the question: if Atheism were actually true, it would have Universal Appeal, and not be confined to certain limited cultures, but doesn't. Specifically, why are there so few Atheists in the Global South, in much of Africa (2%), in Latin America (4%), Middle East and North Africa (less than 1%) etc?

You conflated range of appeal with likelihood of truth with the implication that atheism is probably false because it appeals to fewer people. The obvious takeaway is that Christianity is probably true because it appeals to a great many people.

Furthermore, the bolded statement is factually incorrect. While Christianity is the largest single religion, it is untrue that 'a majority of the population profess it' - non-Christians outnumber Christians by 2 to 1.
