== Harris' and Western atheist outreach contrasted with Christian outreach ==
[[Wikipedia]] is a [[wiki]] founded by an atheist [[Jimbo Wales]] and the agnostic [[Larry Sanger]]. Wikipedia article on Sam Harris' book The End of Faith does not list any reviews either negative or positive from Africans, Latin Americans or South Americans.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End_of_Faith The End of Faith]</ref>
The atheist population in the [[Western World]] has not had significant outreaches to spread atheism outside the Western World. Historically, Christians have made great evangelism efforts to reach every people group across the earth. In 2005, there were four times as many non-[[Western World]] Christians as there were Western World Christians.<ref>[http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=30077 Is Christianity taking over the planet?]</ref> Doing overseas evangelism/outreaches, often requires significant hardships/persecution and Western atheists have been unwilling to endure such hardships in order to spread atheistic ideology (see: [[Atheism and hedonism]]).
In terms of its geographic distribution, [[Christianity]] is a much more a [[Global Christianity|global religion]] than most, if not all, religions (See also: [[Global Christianity]]).<ref>[http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/08/27/many-religions-heavily-concentrated-in-one-or-two-countries/ Many religions heavily concentrated in one or two countries]</ref><ref>[http://wwwgordonconwell.com/netcommunity/CSGCResources/ChristianityinitsGlobalContext.pdf Christianity in its global context]</ref> The [[Bible]] has been translated into 518 languages and 2,798 languages have at least some portion of the Bible.<ref>[http://www.audiobiblesdownload.com/bible-translations/ Bible translations]</ref> [[Charles Darwin]]'s book ''The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life'' has been translated into 35 languages. <ref>[http://www.amphilsoc.org/library/valentinedarwin/vanwyhe Darwin in translation]</ref>
Collectively speaking, the Christian community has a much greater degree of linguistic and cultural diversity than the atheist community.
