Essay: Conservapedians laugh at the "superior atheist intellect"
From Conservapedia
When one looks at the two Alexa website traffic graphs below which give the web traffic of RichardDawkins.net and Conservapedia over the last two years, it doesn't appear as if the agnostic/"weak atheist" Richard Dawkins' plans for the world domination of atheism over belief in God is working out too well.

Is it partly because a significant amount of the New Atheism leadership has been weighed down with obesity! You know 3 out of 5 of the founders of New Atheism movement have been overweight! See: Atheism and obesity. What does medical science say about the health risks of obesity?

Richard Dawkins watching global atheism burn.[17]
Paralyzed with fear, he is afraid to debate William Lane Craig, Creation Ministries International, Dinesh D'Souza and Rabbi Schmuley Boteach a second time (according to the student audience Rabbi Boteach won the first debate with Richard Dawkins which is no doubt why Dawkins claimed the video taped debate never took place).

Decline of atheism
See also: Decline of atheism
Global atheism is in decline in terms of the number of its adherents and the grassroots Question evolution! campaign by Creation Ministries International could certainly accelerate this decline.[19]
In 2011, the American Spectator declared concerning research published in the International Bulletin of Missionary Research:
| “ | The report estimates about 80,000 new Christians every day, 79,000 new Muslims every day, and 300 fewer atheists every day. These atheists are presumably disproportionately represented in the West, while religion is thriving in the Global South, where charismatic Christianity is exploding."[20] | ” |
Decline of atheism in terms of global adherents is expected to accelerate

Eric Kaufmann, a professor at Birkbeck, University of London, using a wealth of demographic studies argues the decline of atheism in terms of its global adherents is an established trend that will persist for the foreseeable future and the rate of decline will accelerate.[21][22][23][24] In addition, Kaufmann argues that religious conservatism has a long term trend of rising and that their influence in the world will significantly increase.[25] Kaufmann is author of the book Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth?.[26][27] In the Western World due to immigration and the higher birth rates of religious people, Kaufman writes: "Committed religious populations are growing in the West, and will reverse the march of secularism before 2050."[28]

Demographics and the expected decline of American secularism
See also: American atheism and American Atheists
The Birkbeck College, University of London professor Eric Kaufman wrote in his 2010 book Shall the Righteous Inherit the Earth? concerning America:
| “ | High evangelical fertility rates more than compensated for losses to liberal Protestant sects during the twentieth century. In recent decades, white secularism has surged, but Latino and Asian religious immigration has taken up the slack, keeping secularism at bay. Across denominations, the fertility advantage of religious fundamentalists of all colours is significant and growing. After 2020, their demographic weight will begin to tip the balance in the culture wars towards the conservative side, ramping up pressure on hot-button issues such as abortion. By the end of the century, three quarters of America may be pro-life. Their activism will leap over the borders of the 'Redeemer Nation' to evangelize the world. Already, the rise of the World Congress of Families has launched a global religious right, its arms stretching across the bloody lines of the War on Terror to embrace the entire Abrahamic family.[29] | ” |
Inability of atheism to unite
See also: Atheist factions
A likely factor in the decline of atheism around the world is the inability of most atheists to keep together for a uniform belief. While there are differences within other religions, such as Christianity, other religions' adherents all share a common belief. In the case of Christianity, this is recognition of the divine presence of Jesus Christ. However, atheists are unable to even create a coherent definition of their beliefs [30].
Question evolution! campaign
See also: Question evolution! campaign and Atheists doubting the validity of atheism
Since World War II a majority of the most prominent and vocal defenders of the theory of evolution which employs methodological naturalism have been atheists.[31] In 2011, a campaign called the Question evolution! campaign was launched by the biblical creation organization Creation Ministries International which is a worldwide "grass-roots movement to challenge the anti-Christian dogma of evolution".[32] The focus of the Question evolution! campaign is on "15 questions that evolutionists cannot satisfactorily answer."[33] The 15 questions posed to evolutionists (and undecided individuals) can be found HERE The campaign will be primarily conducted in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and South Africa.[34]
