Several atheist websites did very poorly during the [[coronavirus]] [[pandemic]] and lost a large amount of their traffic since the early part of 2020 (See: [[Internet atheism and the pandemic]]).
Historically, religiosity increases during pandemics. Pew Research found people's religious faith grew during the pandemic - especially in the United States.<ref>[https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2021/01/27/more-americans-than-people-in-other-advanced-economies-say-covid-19-has-strengthened-religious-faith/#:~:text=A%20similar%20pattern%20occurs%20in,as%20do%2049%25%20of%20Americans. More Americans Than People in Other Advanced Economies Say COVID-19 Has Strengthened Religious Faith], Pew Research, 2021</ref> Nearly three-in-ten U.S. adults say the outbreak has boosted their faith; about four-in-ten say it has tightened family bonds.<ref>[https://www.pewforum.org/2021/01/27/more-americans-than-people-in-other-advanced-economies-say-covid-19-has-strengthened-religious-faith/ More Americans Than People in Other Advanced Economies Say COVID-19 Has Strengthened Religious Faith], Pew Forum</ref>
In addition, many [[atheist organizations]] have significant difficulty in getting their fellow atheist to financially support them (see: [[Atheist organizations and fundraising]]), so their web marketing budgets could have been low during the pandemic. In addition, many atheist organizations have poor fiscal management so they may not have had reserves built up before the pandemic (see: [[Atheist organizations and financial mismanagement]]).
The atheist websites might never gain that traffic back again as the number of [[Global atheism|atheists in the world]] is expected to drop soon after 2022 according to the scholars at the [[Center for the Study of Global Christianity]] at [[Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary]].<ref>[https://www.gordonconwell.edu/center-for-global-christianity/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2022/01/Status-of-Global-Christianity-2022.pdf Status of Global Christianity, 2022, in the Context of 1900–2050]</ref> Currently, the [[Global atheism|global atheist population]] is losing market share in terms of the world's population (see: [[Global atheism statistics]]).
