Christianity in Africa stats: <10 MN in 1900, 700 MN today.

One of the signs of Christianity's continued growth and success has been its continuing relevance in many places of the world once arbitrarily deemed to be "a Missionary's Graveyard". Africa is one such example. Recent stats show there are now 700 MN Christians in Africa. In 1900, there were less than 10 MN. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_in_Africa

"According to updated data for 2021, there are now nearly 685 million Christians in Africa, with 760 million expected by 2025.[17] This surpasses earlier estimates of 630 million to 700 million for 2025: "By 2025, that number is expected to nearly double, to somewhere between 630 and 700 million believers."

Philip Jenkins, an Evangelical Christian, estimates that by 2040, there will be 450 MN Catholic Christians in Africa, more than the number of Catholic Christians in the entire world in 1950: https://catholicherald.co.uk/catholicism...wth-story/

"If current trends continue, as they show every sign of doing, then by the 2040s there will be some 460 million African Catholics. Incredibly, that number would be greater than the total world population of Catholics as it stood in 1950."

If Demography is Destiny, as they say, where does that leave Atheism? What do you think African and World Atheism will look like in the year 2050 A.D.?

By the way, Africa is expected to have a total population of 2.5 BN by 2050. I would guess, the way its going, there will be 1.5 BN Christians at least in Africa alone by then, if not closer to 2 BN. And since temporal prosperity often follows in the wake of the Gospel, as Pope Leo XIII says, I hope temporal prosperity also follows the spiritual prosperity the Africans have achieved in Christ, God Bless them. Again, what of Atheism?

You’ve done this before. Repeating the democratic fallacy doesn’t make it any less fallacious.
