Dream on! The enlightenment started 400 years ago, and atheists are still a small minority!
Perhaps in a 1,000 years. Never in a 100.

But why would you even want to 'dominate' in the first place? That's an imperialistic, even a fascist attitude! 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!

it's probably not a linear thing. 100 years ago functional atheists were probably a small minority amongst what were the developed countries in the world back then. Today they are at least a very large minority amongst all developed countries except for US. Today perhaps 11 out of 100 people in the world live in developed countries. In 100 years, it will be at least 3-4 out of every 10.

But in absolute numbers, there will probably still be more Christians and Muslims, mainly in the world's less developed places.
