She had to compare Italy and Argentina and I found something called the CIA World Factbook. One of the things in it was a review of religion in Argentina. It said that 92% of the country was catholic but noted that less than 20% were practicing.
IT seems the church is losing its hold everywhere.
LOL! Yeah.... its not the church numbers you need to worry about. No matter how intrusive religion gets, or doesn't get.... the overwhelming majority still believe in a higher source! And always will. As much as it pains you; the axe swings both ways on a "lack of evidence" you know!
As far as an "outreach" for atheism? You have the secular media rooting for you 24/7 in HFD living color, stereo! What more could you possibly want?
What do you mean by this? The media often likes to push the 'Just believe' mentality which is the opposite of atheism. Movies and other forms of visual entertainment are profit driven. If something doesn't appeal to the paying public, it won't get made. There isn't a conspiracy against religious people.
