Gentlemen,

I want to thank you all for interesting thoughts you have come up with. Ranging from "faith is as important as air for human beings" to "religions is poison and its followers zombies". Frankly, little can be decided by words as ultimately the choice is yours. Every single one of us was born with free will.

May I present to you far more earthly and mundane question?

If atheism and the lack of faith is the answer of future... why is natural selection and evolution choosing against atheists? It applies globally and regionally, across races and incomes and education. Religious people have more children that (within same socioeconomic group) live longer, healthier and especially for certain groups (mormons, evangelicals, jews) attain higher educational archievement, than either atheists or population average.

This is not about philosophy. It is pure statistics and reason backed by numbers. I am eager to hear your thoughts.

United nations predictions for 2025:

From the evolutionary perspective, our descendants may look on atheism the same way we look today at ancient greek pantheon. Inspiring but ultimately pointless exercise and dead end.

The answer is simple. Life wants to sustain itself. So it will propagate better in suitable environments.

Atheists are generally more intelligent and better educated, probably plan their families better and have 1-2 kids that read from 1000s of books rather than have 20-30 kids that don't read or read from 1 book.

Yes, atheists take their lives into their own hands, and do not become slaves of religion and live in constant fear that they will do something against God's will.
