Atheism, the short lived idea?

[Darwinian]

However, I would argue that now that atheism and secularism has begun to flourish, as you put it, in the developed world there is very little that can be done to stop it. I agree that a lot of very religious immigrants will, to some degree, set things back a little but the children of these people will of course no longer have the same religious pressure they would have had living in a third world country or indeed in a theocracy.

Therefore, these children will be far more likely to be atheist or non-religious and their offspring even more so.
