One of the many problems of atheism is its uninterestingness as an intellectual position.

There are a number of factors which causes atheism to be a stale and boring ideology which continues to be minority position within the world which will be covered shortly. In the 21 century, atheism is expected to see global decline in terms of its influence and percentage of adherents (see: Global atheism).

As a result of the boringness of atheism, many atheists are apathetic when it comes to their atheism and atheistic activities (see: Atheism and apathy).
