Why thumbs down to atheism? It brings a wave of common sense. Anyways, atheism is not on the decline. Those articles merely stated an opinion. I've seen figures showing it has been increasing steadily. In fact it is christianity under attack and I think it'll start to decline too.

For the record, there are 5 different classifications of Christians:
Liberal, Moderate, Conservative, Fundamental and Extreme Fundamental.
The liberal and extreme fundamental factions are not in line with the real faith, though. You probably know what I mean by a liberal "Christian," but extreme fundamental "Christians" are those fascist and neo-nazi types, which for the record I am strongly against.
As for myself, I am fundamentally religious, but politically a centrist. Yes, in my opinion there are many things wrong with both liberal and conservative political agendas, but there are also many things right with both agendas. My political views basically include the good from both agendas, which suprisingly is equivalent to my fundamental Christian beliefs.
HAVE A DAY.

"And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17Comment

You are a political centrist?
What liberal ideals do you have? Letting the women cook on sundays?"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Christianity is on a rapid decline.
You will be in the minority before you die.

Sorry UR.. I'm not attacking him personally.. I just am pointing out that's a falsehood.

I repeat - Steve Jobs is a pagan, and the Macintosh was largely designed by hippy pagans who engaged in strange Eastern religious practices.
