A fear of atheism is unjustified given that atheism lacks proof and evidence that it is true and due to the fact that [[Christianity]] has an abundance of evidence to support its veracity (see: [[Christian apologetics]] and [[Rebuttals to atheist arguments|Refutations of atheism]] and [http://www.conservapedia.com/Atheism#Criticism_of_atheism_and_the_atheist_community Criticisms of atheism]). The most rational response of Christians to atheism is to engage in Christian [[evangelism]], disseminate Christian apologetics material and to use various means to thwart state [[atheist indoctrination]] in their societies.

Given the lack of substance of atheism, it is not surprising that atheism has a lower retention rate than other worldviews in terms of its adherents (see: [[Atheism has a lower retention rate compared to other worldviews]] and [[Desecularization]] and [[Global atheism]]).  A 2012 study by the General Social Survey of the social science research organization NORC at the University of Chicago found that belief in God rises with age, even in atheistic nations (see: [[Atheism and immaturity]]).<ref>[http://news.uchicago.edu/article/2012/04/18/belief-god-rises-age-even-atheist-nations Belief in God rises with age, even in atheist nations]</ref>

Given the lack of substance of atheism, it is not surprising that atheism has a low retention rate among those raised in atheist households in the United States and many people are abandoning atheism in  communist China and former communist countries (see: [[Atheism and its retention rate in individuals]] and [[Desecularization]] and [[Global atheism]]).  A 2012 study by the General Social Survey of the social science research organization NORC at the University of Chicago found that belief in God rises with age, even in atheistic nations (see: [[Atheism and immaturity]]).<ref>[http://news.uchicago.edu/article/2012/04/18/belief-god-rises-age-even-atheist-nations Belief in God rises with age, even in atheist nations]</ref>
