Talk:Essay: 10 reasons why American atheism will see a significant decline

Campaign

When does the Question Evolution campaign actually start? I'd like to get involved with it in the UK when it begins. --MandyC 09:17, 28 October 2011 (EDT)

Contact the UK office of Creation Ministries International about the campaign in the UK which is currently a campaign in the UK. How many adherents of Christianity were there in the beginning? Two thousand years of Christian increase![1] (see also: Global Christianity). American atheists, get ready to be cut by at least 50% in the United States (see: Will American atheism be cut by at least 50%? and My challenge to atheists and evolutionists ).

So it's already started in the UK? Do you know if they've actually done anything yet? I haven't seen anything in the media about it. --MandyC 10:51, 28 October 2011 (EDT)

There must be a reason why you aren't contacting CMI-UK? What is it? I would think they would be your best source of information. Conservative 10:53, 28 October 2011 (EDT)

I would have thought so too, but I spoke to them ten minutes ago and the staff in their office don't know of any events they've organised or are planning.--MandyC 11:03, 28 October 2011 (EDT)

Call me an unwarranted skeptic of your claim, but I don't believe you. I hardly believe they are turning away eager volunteers. Conservative 11:22, 28 October 2011 (EDT)

One thing you need to clarify

You keep referring to the "leadership" of the atheist movement. What you haven't clarified is how many atheists consider themselves a part of this movement, and are followers of men like Dawkins and Myers, and how many atheists are not involved with any organized group, and are unaffected by anything it does. I have a feeling there are many more who fall outside of any organization, and who don't give much thought to God or religion or even their own lack of belief, or outright disbelief. --SharonW 10:14, 28 October 2011 (EDT)

I have never claimed the atheist movement has strong leadership. In fact, it could be argued that I have argued the opposite (for example, Atheism and cowardice). Plus, I wrote this article: Atheist factions. Nevertheless, your "herding cats" comment is a valid point. Conservative 10:43, 28 October 2011 (EDT)

SharonW, thanks. I added this sentence: "In addition, there is a lot of disharmony in the atheist movement (see: Atheist factions and Atheism: A house divided and in global decline)". Conservative 10:47, 28 October 2011 (EDT)
