People have been forecasting the death of christianity for, well about 2000 years so this is no surprise.

The thing with atheists is that they don't study history or geography or sociology. If they did they would not be so sure of their impact.

But then these are people who are arrogant enough to think that their narrow little philosophy haas explored the outermost extents of the multi-dimensional universe and proven that there is no God to be found anywhere.

From the ABC:

Religion will be a non-event in Australia within two generations according to the head of the country's atheist foundation.

David Nicholls says we are now seeing the tip of the iceberg as more and more people declare themselves non-believers and free thinkers.

But he admits religion will always be present in Australia because of indoctrination and because some people "need fairy stories to survive".

"Within two generations, religion in Australia will be a non event," he said.

"[It] will always be here, there's always going to be a genetic and cultural indoctrination, enough to affect some people, some people need it, some people get comfort from it, some people need fairy stories to survive, but not as many as before."

His comments come ahead of the Global Atheism Convention which starts this evening in Melbourne.

 The best illustration of the folly of these people is the French philosopher Voltaire claimed that within 100 years nobody would believe in God. His house is now the head office for the Bible Society in France.
