Atheists losing ground as Christianity surgesMilitant atheists, are losing ground worldwide. Richard Dawkins is considered by many to be a 'strong atheist,' meaning he does not believe there is any chance of the existence of any gods--not all atheists agree.

Despite the rise of aggressive atheism in the US, this study shows that atheism is actually dropping worldwide, to only 1.8% of the world population.

Here is an article that makes the bold claim that religion will largely disappear by 2041, based on the theory that more affluent countries are more atheistic.

Here is an article, "Young Evangelicals Are Getting High" about a counter-cultural trend where some young evangelicals are ditching the community church culture for high church culture (Catholicism, Presbyterianism, etc.).
