You don't validate something based on the number of people that believe/ follow it.

Whether atheism is rising or declining has nothing to do with whether theism is correct. This is mostly a matter of birth rates, and being born into a religious family and adding to the statistics of that religion isn't what we are going to used as a verdict on which worldview is valid.

To be religious, is to side with faith about the unseen, to be irreligious is to side with evidence based reasoning , and intellectualism. And as societies become more advance intellectually and technologically religiosity tends to decline.... Developed nations (like Germany, France and the UK) are a good case study.

He isnt. People wey don do pass you have come and gone. People that couldnt stand the truth in christianity and actually tooks great steps in executing christians. Dey der dey cry.


Voltaire, French infidel, died 1778
- said that within 100 years of his time, Christianity would be swept away from existence and pass into the obscurity of history.
-Yet 50 years after his death, the Geneva Bible Society used his house and printing press to produce stacks of Bibles.

This is probably an embellishment of the facts. The house was occupied for a while by a lay president of the Evangelical Society of Geneva and was never used as a printing press. Today its a museum dedicated to Voltaire's life and work.
