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

Not following, Brian. Where did I say that and what do you mean? Please elaborate.
Anyway, coming back to Demographics a little, Many Christian Denominations are planning a Billion Soul Harvest/Outreach by 2033. Let's see how it goes, but my expectation is Christendom will cross 3 BN Souls even quicker than demographers project. Demographers make their best guess based on current data, but the Holy Spirit has Plans of His own. Demographers say there will be around 3.35 BN Christians only by 2050. My expectation is it'll happen much faster than that. Let's revisit in a few years and see how it went. But in the meanwhile, pls explain what you're talking about. We were speaking about Communism, Nazism, Atheism, Marxism etc. Where does debt come into the picture? Are you speaking about Q-UBI that I mentioned?
Rahul Gandhi, India's Main Opposition Candidate, who might become PM after May 2024, had proposed something like a Q-UBI for the Bottom 20% of India's Poor, of about 6000 Rs/Month, something I strongly support, because it would basically eradicate Extreme Poverty in India; not complete poverty, but extreme; I advocated for something like it even before it was proposed, and have continued to do so. It's called Nyuntam Aay Yojana, or NYAY, which is also a Hindi Word meaning Justice. I updated the Wikipedia page on that responding to some specious objections from various sophists with Economic Data and Facts. One must do Good Things for the Poor, but also in a sensible way without getting into Endless Debt.
Of course it will come from Tax Revenue, but I'm happy for my Tax Money to go toward that end; it's also only a small Portion of Total Tax Revenue: Wiki: "According to World-Bank and IMF estimates, India’s nominal income in 2018 was about ₹185 lakh crore ($2670 billion), and India was the seventh largest economy in the world. In this situation, 25 crore poorest people could legitimately claim 1.9 per cent as their share in the national income. If the Centre can spend more than ₹1 lakh crore on its 85 lakh employees (45 lakh in service and 40 lakh pension-holders) as per the Seventh Pay Commission’s recommendations; and if the same amount of money is spent towards oil subsidy to reduce the so-called losses of the oil-companies— why should 25 crore people not deserve ₹3.60-lakh crore or 1.9 per cent of the national income?" ... It is true that rapid and broad-based growth will reduce poverty, and, in the medium to long term, eliminate poverty. On the other hand, decisive and focused intervention has the capacity to eliminate poverty within a decade. Congress, therefore, sets the goal of elimination of abject poverty by the year 2030."[25] This mirrors the UN's Agenda 2030 while being specific to the Indian Nation."
