Decline of atheism and the explosive growth of global Christianity
See also: Decline of atheism and Global Christianity and Atheist population
In 2011, the American Spectator declared concerning research published in the International Bulletin of Missionary Research:
| “ | The report estimates about 80,000 new Christians every day, 79,000 new Muslims every day, and 300 fewer atheists every day. These atheists are presumably disproportionately represented in the West, while religion is thriving in the Global South, where charismatic Christianity is exploding."[5] | ” |
