In 2001, the atheist and [[Philosophy|philosopher]] Quentin Smith declared:

In 2001, the atheist and [[Philosophy|philosopher]] Quentin Smith declared: "[[Naturalism|Naturalists]] [atheists] passively watched as realist versions of [[theism]] … began to sweep through the philosophical community, until today perhaps one-quarter or one-third of philosophy professors are theists, with most being orthodox Christians…. God is not 'dead' in academia; he returned to life in the 1960's and is now alive and well in his last academic stronghold, philosophy departments."<ref>Craig, William Lane (2012).[http://www.reasonablefaith.org/theistic-critiques-of-atheism "Theistic critiques of atheism"].  Reasonable Faith.  Retrieved on July 26, 2014.  Unabridged version of article published 2007.  See [[William Lane Craig]].</ref>

The agnostic [[Eric Kaufmann]] wrote in 2010:

The agnostic [[Eric Kaufmann]] wrote in 2010: "Worldwide, the [[Desecularization|march of religion]] can probably only be reversed by a renewed, self-aware secularism. Today, it appears exhausted and lacking in confidence... Secularism's greatest triumphs owe less to science than to popular social movements like nationalism, [[socialism]] and 1960s anarchist-[[liberalism]]. Ironically, secularism's demographic deficit means that it will probably only succeed in the twenty-first century if it can create a secular form of 'religious' enthusiasm." <ref>[http://www.sneps.net/uploadsepk/JQR%20Demography.pdf Shall the religious inherit the earth? - Eric Kaufmann]</ref>
