Talk:Essay: 10 reasons why American atheism will see a significant decline (view source)
Revision as of 20:51, May 15, 2012
, 20:51, May 15, 2012→Rate of atheist decline
:::Clint, that is very good news. I think it can be doubled to 1,600 less atheist a day though greater evangelism in Asia, increased [[internet evangelism]], greater creation evangelism, Christian apologetics having a more prominent profile on the internet and Western Christians doing more evangelism in their communities. I think Western Christianity has been too passive when it comes to evangelism in the West and in confronting atheism. Atheism is one of the easiest worldviews to dispel and that is why prominent atheists and evolutionists are chicken to debate. See: [[Atheism and cowardice]]. Global atheism is extremely vulnerable right now and its vulnerability will likely increase with time. Have you seen the Eric Kaufmann material I posted yet? See: [[Decline of atheism]]?

Clint, forget my last request.
Here is why:
As you may know, the rate at which global atheism is declining is increasing rapidly according to respected seminary Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (GCTS) which publishes these statistics in January of every calendar year.
The International Bulletin of Missionary Research (IBMR) obtains their data from GCTS reports.
In February of 2011, the American Spectator reported that every day there were 300 less atheists a day as can be seen here: http://spectator.org/archives/2011/02/28/thriving-christianity I discovered that this came from the GCTS January 2011 report.
In 2012, you showed me that a report from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary showed that each day there are 800 less atheists a day as can be seen here: http://www.gordonconwell.edu/resources/documents/StatusOfGlobalMission.pdf [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 16:51, 15 May 2012 (EDT)
