Huffington Post: Atheism to defeat religion by 2038

It only takes one generation to start thinking for themselves. If this is promoted enough in schools, and children are actually educated appropriately I think it can happen.

Visited a madrassa or a fundie xtian school lately? Hell, many of the little bastards are home-schooled so their idiot parents run no risk of them learning anything.

Well obviously but that's kinda the point I'm making. As long as most of the peoples are getting a good education then shouldn't be too long before those people you mention die out.

Huffington Post also has Obama winning by a larger margin.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

To offer a bit of perspective from the kids here; I frequent a lot of lulz boards and pages, and even the "home schooled" Christian kids are starting to see the fallacy. They sneak on the internet and laugh at memes mocking their religion. I ask you - what sort of fundies are they going to make? The internet is changing the tides, and there is nothing that is going to stop the waves - short of the second coming, of course.

It depends on how decent their catechesis is. When I converted, it was after I had actually studied Christianity (and many other religions) and realized how broken the fallacies behind the critiques of Christianity were.

I was a really hardcore atheist when the movie Zeitgeist came out (and it was very popular on atheist blogs), and it was just astonishing to me how much they ate it up.
Mary Immaculate, star of the morning
Chosen before the creation began
Chosen to bring for your bridal adorning
Woe to the serpent and rescue to man.

Sinners, we honor your sinless perfection;
Fallen and weak, for your pity we plead;
Grand us the shield of your sovereign protection,
Measure your aid by the depth of our need.

Bend from your throne at the voice of our crying,
Bend to this earth which your footsteps have trod;
Stretch out your arms to us, living and dying,
Mary Immaculate, Mother of God.
