Why does religion continue to grow?

[Jenny A]

In spite of your superior intellect, logic, and scientific proof to the contrary, your message that God is dead does not seem to be getting out. 

I'm interested to hear your theories of why by 2050, contrary to 300 years of predictions, almost 3,000,000,000 Christians will be sitting in pews around the world praying for the salvation of your grand kids. 

I think it's education and critical thinking more than it superior intelligence that makes atheists.  That and lack of indoctrination.  Your study demonstrates that:

In the United States, Christians will decline from more than three-quarters of the population in 2010 to two-thirds in 2050, and Judaism will no longer be the largest non-Christian religion. Muslims will be more numerous in the U.S. than people who identify as Jewish on the basis of religion.

Atheists, agnostics and other people who do not affiliate with any religion – though increasing in countries such as the United States and France – will make up a declining share of the world’s total population.

To be clear, in more educated parts of the world the % who are Christian is on the decline and non and non affiliated is on the rise. To the extent Islam is on the rise in educated parts of the world, it's primarily because of immigration and birth rate.

Christianity on the other hand will do well in the third world.

I suggest that next time you actually read the material you are citing.
