According to the Irish atheist [[Michael Nugent]]: "The [[atheist movement]] is global. It is not defined by the mostly American ‘deep rifts’ disagreements."<ref name="michaelnugent.com">"[http://www.michaelnugent.com/2014/09/19/the-atheist-movement-is-global-it-is-not-defined-by-the-mostly-american-deep-rifts-disagreements/ The atheist movement is global.

In addition, Irish atheists have a reputation for being ill-tempered/quarrelsome just like their American counterparts.<ref name="independent.ie">[http://www.independent.ie/lifestyle/were-sorry-so-very-very-sorry-the-first-atheist-schism-26539122.html We're sorry.

Furthermore, as noted above, the [[global atheism|global atheist population]] is shrinking as a percentage of the world's population (see: [[Global atheism statistics]]). [[Asian atheism]] is seeing a decline due to the explosive growth of Christianity in China (see: [[East Asia and global desecularization]]). As far as Europe, in Protestant Europe, France and the UK, the secularization rate is at zero (see: [[European desecularization in the 21st century]]).
