A number of academic journals now indicate that global atheism/agnosticism is shrinking in influence and there is now a global resurgence of religion

Global atheism/agnosticism have a long term trend of shrinking in influence and/or adherents for about the last 13 years and the rate of shrinking is expected to accelerate in the 21st century and affect Western World atheism/agnosticism.  And the atheist/agnostic communities have no plan to reverse this decline (see:  Evolutionists, atheists and agnostics: Where is your plan to reverse your decline? )

CNS News declared on July 24, 2013:
Atheism is in decline worldwide, with the number of atheists falling from 4.5% of the world’s population in 1970 to 2.0% in 2010 and projected to drop to 1.8% by 2020, according to a new report by the Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Mass.
