Perhaps in a 1,000 years. Never in a 100.
Atheism didn't have the amount of influence, not even close. Science, technology or evidence is fairly recent to aid the corner of Atheism, that's why it took that long. It wont take nearly as long to spread from this point forward. A lot of people will be moved out of their fringe faith, and there's a lot of fringe-believers out there.
And of course a believer of supernatural crap is going to say Atheism is going to take a long time, you're as scared of it as Bill O'Reilly is when he says Atheism is dying. HAHAHA not even close. And it's not a small minority, you've been fed false polls that ask misleading questions about religion. You could probably get the average number of Atheists in America alone to about 15% but that doesnt include agnostics and spiritualists, they would just put them under the religious category. And in Europe its over 50% and up to 85% in a few countries. Youre the one dreaming if you think Religion has a place in the new world Science and reason are putting together...without religion's help may I remind you, and they also hinder the Science/Technology. Do you have any idea where we would be without religion? Traveling space regularly would be a reality without the scientific oppression religion caused.

Why would you want to be more or better than other people (except in sports or arts)? You even use a religious verb to describe that situation: to 'dominate' = to be the Lord...
So if you consider yourself an atheist you will need to rethink this whole 'domination' thing, Slappy!
Do you wonder why I have as many Reputation points as you with about 3/4 less posts?
Just playing. But, Domination was a figure of speech. Domination in the colloquial sense would also imply that I would want Stalinism to come back with the Communist party back in power based on Socaial Darwinism. You're just as dead wrong about this as you are about religion.
