And a lot of people believe in gods because they are uneducated, the bad thing about 1st world countries is that they know better and pretend like there's no evidence for things like Evolution or that it's a theory in the colloquial sense. The world is getting educated faster than ever before with the advances in technology and it'll only get better. I am the one being optimistic saying that reason will trump faith in the long run.
Optimism is unfounded belief denying historical evidence...
Historical evidence of what? You didn't provide evidence that Atheism is a small minority and you didnt disprove that Atheism is growing fast in Europe.
And No, actually Optimism is Positive Thinking and I base mine on reasonable expectations, not faith. If I had faith I would pray and say I know for a fact that Atheism will sweep through the world. Hell no, I'm not sure of that, but if there are no holy wars and things stay on the right track of ending wars not killing each other as much, yeah its very reasonable to say that most people will be Non believers in the supernatural. Especially in a future where we can explain so much more, do you have any idea how far Science will be along in 100 years? You havnt read much into future technologies and practices and what it implications they holds have you? If someone can demonsterable show you evidence that's peer reviewed, that everything you are (soul) is in your brain (which they can) without a shadow of a doubt then a lot of people are forced to look at their views of an afterlife and hopefully if their smart enough, get rid of the superfluous baggage.
