== Unattractiveness of atheism ==
''See also:'' [[Hopelessness of atheism]] and [[Unattractiveness of atheism]]
The American Christian Todd Strandberg said of atheism: "The ranks of atheists have always [[Atheist Population|been small]]... The key problem with atheism is that it lacks a strong 'selling point'".<ref>[http://www.raptureready.com/rr-atheism.html Atheism: The cult of death]</ref> Christians maintain that the benefits of Christianity totally outweigh the benefits of atheism.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWbFtplpY48 And the benefits of atheism are what again?]</ref> For example, Bible believing Christians point out that the [[Atheist Population|atheist population]] is [[Atheism and depression|more depressed]] than the Christian population and that atheists will ultimately wind up in [[hell]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWbFtplpY48 And the benefits of atheism are what again?]</ref> See also: [[Hopelessness of atheism]]
=== Atheists infighting is making the atheist community unappealing to many ===
''See also:'' [[Atheist factions]]
The significant amount of unpleasant personalities within the [[Atheist Population|atheist population]] and the resulting amount of atheist infighting has made atheist community unattractive to many people who are looking for a sense of community and/or a common cause (see: [[Atheist factions]] and [[Views on atheists]]).<ref>[http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/brendanoneill2/100230985/how-atheists-became-the-most-colossally-smug-and-annoying-people-on-the-planet/ Brendan O'Neill, ''The Telegraph, How atheists became the most colossally smug and annoying people on the planet'', August 14th, 2013]</ref><ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2013/01/22/is-atheism-a-religion/atheism-cannot-replace-religion Atheism cannot replace religion]</ref> For more information please see: [[Unattractiveness of atheism]] and [[Hopelessness of atheism]]
