Let's keep it rolling!

I wonder if the day that “believers” fall into the minority will be the same day that I don’t have to label myself by what I don’t believe in. Atheism should be the default. I certainly don’t have to let everyone know that I don’t believe in leprechauns.

May it double in half the time.

I think the net will, by itself, slowly kill off religious beliefs.
As a boy when I had hard question the Rev did not like, I could find Aquinas and Augustine only in a Library,
NOW youth can, from the palm of their hand, research most anything, talk to believers in real time and vett any information.

Not that we all do, but the ease with which people can do it causes more to do it, and that helps foster critical thought.

Podcasts and Youtube shows are fodder for the youth, and they can find one about anything.

In my my life, considerations of the divine sort required travel and actual research. That became Google, its a little faster.

However you can fully expect the religious to fight back because they see it as a perversion of "their" culture, they see the religious microculture they live in as the only valid culture, and since the net refutes that non stop they will react defensively. Groups like "The Family" see the best defense as a good offense.

So we who do not believe will have to fight to preserve our liberty from those who would restrict it to preserve their notion of a valid "culture".

The big problem with these statistics is that the believer still sees them as people who can be converted. Nobody sees that a great many of us were also once religious as well. Nobody understands that you can no longer believe in the Wizard of Oz once you have seen behind the curtain.

When you consider that statistic, the present political climate seems even more insane.

Now if only more than a dozen of them could take over Ohio legislature!

Yes... Disbelief (if you want to call it that) is growing and has been for years. Unfortunately, the religious right has become even more kookier and insane at a faster, disproportionate rate. Soon you will see christian fanatics that behave more like the muslim extremists and Isis.

Good news indeed!

Hooray sanity approaching

Zippy de do dah!
Zippy de day!
My oh my
What a wonderful day!

are you still an angry atheist? don't let them get in your head. they're of weak minds.

Progress!

When it reaches 100% let me know.

Wow... you sound like you want to jerk off to those numbers.... wow!!!

Good news. Why do we have so few members? My city has more than a million people, there could be a quarter mollion agnostics, yet worldwide there are fewer than 100,000 members here.
