Atheism, the short lived idea?

[solja247]

China seems to contain twice as many atheists as there are people in Europe and North America combined

China also has the most Christians in it as well. China will probably be a Christian nation some time soon...

Given china's expected rise to become the premier industrial and commercial power over the next century, and probably technological and scientific power as well, I would expect atheism to become more influential than any time in human history regardless of what happens in Europe and north America.

I dont know how much you know about China, but millions of Chinese are becoming Christians. I was in Hong Kong and I saw a Christian reading their Bible in Maccas! they even invited me to church! Atheism has no hope when Christians act like a loving community, like they do in China.

BTW, just a few examples of the worst that Christians can do in 20th and 21st century can be found in the Balkans, I am pretty sure within your life time, unless you are less than 12. It included Christian militias gluing crosses onto their assault rifle butts lest there be any confusion about who it was that was committing genocide against local Muslims population as well as fellow Christians of a slightly different flavor.

10 points for attempting to derail this thread.

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

I dont know. I know a lot of immigrants from third-wrold countries who do hold onto their faith. Remember, immigrants ussally are community centred than us in the developed world...

And if you were a muslim you would be saying"So I personally would prefer to live in a Islamic nation, if I was an atheist..."

No. If I had to live in any religious society, it would be a Buddhist society. Christians can be really crazy lol.
