2022 will be the WORST year in the history of secular leftism.

2021 was a HORRIBLE year for atheism and now this!

See also: 2021 is the WORST year in the history of atheism
Joe Biden campaigned as a political moderate, but he is governing as a leftist. Biden's approval ratings have been plunging admidst his multiple misteps.[1]

CEOs, CFOs Predict ‘Red Wave’ In Congress and Strong Inflation for 2022 In New Survey.[2]

Minorities and women are leading the expected red wave in the upcoming 2022 midterm elections.[3]

Mothers in Republican-leaning counties saw a baby boost over their Democratic counterparts after former President Donald Trump’s surprise 2016 victory. And the effects lasted for the following 2 years after he was reelected.[4]

Question: Will there be baby boost for Republicans if there is a big red wave in the 2022 elections?

Republicans Have 41% More Kids Than Democrats and some studies suggest that 70% of teens vote like their parents.[5]

The pandemic awakened parents to what was being taught in public schools and homeschooling and Christian schools have seen a big rise.[6][7] In addition, there have been protests in public school board meetings as far as critical race theory.

The Supreme Court of the United States is poised to soon end religious discrimination in school choice programs.[8][9]

Joe Biden campaigned as a political moderate, but he is governing as a leftist. Biden's approval ratings have been plunging while his disapproval ratings have climbed amidst his multiple misteps.[10]

Question: Will the percentage of Republican parents having teens that vote like them increase higher than 70%?

More and more it is looking like 2022 is going to be the WORST year in the history of atheism - especially for secular leftism. Even WORSE than 2021 which was a very BAD year for atheism!

2021 was the lowest volume of Google searches for the word "atheist" in 17 years.[11] Will it go even lower in 2022?

China

Xi Jinping is the current General Secretary of the Communist Party of China which requires that all their members be atheists. See: China and atheism and Atheism and communism

China has the world's largest atheist population and state atheism (See: China and atheism). A majority of the world's atheists are likely East Asian (See: Asian atheism and Global atheism).

Consider these 3 news stories:

1. When Will China Rule the World? Maybe Never, Bloomberg News, 2021

Excerpt: "The nightmare scenario for Xi is that China could follow the same trajectory as Japan, also touted as a potential challenger to the U.S. before it crashed three decades ago. A combination of reform failure, international isolation and financial crisis could halt China before it reaches the top."

2. China's economic growth will slow sharply in 2022, World Bank says

3. China may have to juice its economy soon as 'stagflation' risk rises

There was already a risk that the Chinese Communist Party would be overthrown and the end of state atheism would cause the already explosive growth of Christianity in China to be further turbocharged (see: Future of atheism in China).

In 2020, The Economist published an article entitled Protestant Christianity is booming in China which indicated:

“ As for China’s Christians, their numbers continue to grow. The government reckons that about 200m of China’s 1.4bn people are religious. Although most practice traditional Chinese religions such as Taoism, and longer-standing foreign imports such as Buddhism, Protestant Christianity is probably the fastest-growing faith, with at least 38m adherents today (about 3% of the population), up from 22m a decade ago, according to the government’s count. The true number is probably much higher: perhaps as many as 22m more Chinese Protestants worship in unregistered “underground” churches, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Notre Dame. As China also has 10m-12m Catholics, there are more Christians in China today than in France (38m) or Germany (43m). Combined, Christians and the country’s estimated 23m Muslims may now outnumber the membership of the Communist Party (92m). Indeed, an unknown number of party members go to church as well as local committee meetings.[12] ”

To see the magnitude of the explosive growth of Christianity in China, look at this graph about the growth of Christianity in China in a DW news story about Chinese Christianity (DW is a mainstream news outlet in Germany).

The future of Christianity and religion in general is very bright. On behalf of all Christendom and religious people of the world, I declare victory! Olé! Olé! Olé!

The prominent historian Sir Diarmaid MacCulloch, professor of the History of the Church at Oxford University, indicates that he believes Christianity faces a "bright future" worldwide (See also: Global Christianity).

According to MacCulloch, "Christianity, the world's largest religion, is rapidly expanding – by all indications, its future is very bright."[1]

Phillip Jenkins published the book The Next Christendom: The Coming of Global Christianity.

Chuck Colson, citing the work of Jenkins, writes:

“ As Penn State professor Philip Jenkins writes in The Next Christendom: The Coming of Global Christianity, predictions like Huntingtons betray an ignorance of the explosive growth of Christianity outside of the West.

For instance, in 1900, there were approximately 10 million Christians in Africa. By 2000, there were 360 million. By 2025, conservative estimates see that number rising to 633 million.

According to Jenkins, the percentage of the worlds population that is, at least by name, Christian will be roughly the same in 2050 as it was in 1900. By the middle of this century, there will be three billion Christians in the world -- one and a half times the number of Muslims. In fact, by 2050 there will be nearly as many Pentecostal Christians in the world as there are Muslims today.[5]

As much as I hate to say it, on behalf of all Christendom, I declare victory! Olé! Olé! Olé!
