One of the world's survey companies recently claimed global atheism is one the rise. Although we will be addressing this issue more in depth in a subsequent post, the article GLOBAL ATHEISM ON THE RISE--REALLY? by Nigel Tomes is a good start.
Also, be sure to read this entire blog post as we have some exciting blog posts coming up that you definitely will not want to miss.
One of the issues we will focus on in an upcoming article is the growth of Christianity in China. For example, we will discuss the house church movement in China. In the meantime, we suggest reading this article: Christianity gaining popularity in China. Of course, what happens in China has a big effect on global atheism due to its large population and the fact that it has an atheistic communist regime.

You can read some of these posts here: Down with evolutionary belief! Down with atheism! Hurray for the Question Evolution! Campaign!
Upcoming articles on this blog
After a small number of blog posts wrapping up some of the above matters, our new blog posts for the foreseeable future are going to focus on things we are doing at the present time to advance the Question Evolution! Campaign. This will start around mid August 2012 or possibly sooner.
The Question Evolution! book for middle school students is soon coming out in 2013. Consequently, it is a great time to focus on things that will have more immediate results in terms of creating more and more momentum for the campaign. These materials will be very educational in terms of debunking evolutionary pseudoscience and will be a great asset to the campaign.
Future uses of our past blog posts at this blog
We intend to use our past blog posts for these purposes:
1. Educating people about the status of evolutionism, atheism and agnosticism in the world
2. Educating people about the Question Evolution! Campaign and its aims and strategies.
3. Possibly using some of the content in our past articles in grant proposals.

Yeah, the poll was really awful. It's not actually Gallup (the organization in Washington DC) who did the survey. There's a disclaimer at the bottom of some of the pages that tell you that they have no relation. Anyway, the poll found that women and people in their middle ages to be the most atheistic. I have never seen a domestic or international poll that showed that. Plus, as Nigel Tomes said, the sample sizes were way too small.
ReplyDeleteIt appear as if the Gallup Inc. organization is in a lawsuit with WIN/Gallup International. I am rooting for Gallup Inc. as I thought that was a shoddy survey.
