== What happened to your atheist swagger? ==
There is one thing I have noticed. EJamesW has lost a lot of his atheist swagger since he first edited Conservapedia. Of course, we all know why (See: [[Essay: A British atheist on Conservapedia's atheism articles]]).
I think a decline of atheist swagger is true of atheism as a whole (see: [[Global atheism|Decline of global atheism]]).
"Worldwide, the 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." - the agnostic professor Eric Kaufmann, Birbeck College, University of London, UK, 2010[http://www.sneps.net/uploadsepk/JQR%20Demography.pdf]
