I was comparing it with the religious alternatives. Islam's days are clearly numbered and will freefall when the oil runs out. Hinduism and Buddhism are pagan garbage and also in decline. The rest aren't even a blip on radar.
Are most human beings effectively atheist? Yes, but that's been true for all of human history.

Here we go again.
When you say "when the oil runs out," what century are you referring to?
Pick any one after the 31st.
Well, yeah. There’s also the issue of forced conversions. Christianity won’t succeed in forced conversion at scale because it’s too disparate. If opphunter88 tried to force me to convert to Lutheran faggotism I’d hard reject it. I’d tell him to fuck off and if it escalated to violence I’d kill him. I bet he’d flip the fuck out if I tried to forcibly convert him to LDS, too, even though as far as the serious moral tests of the century are concerned my denomination is less flawed.
And to be clear, I wouldn’t blame him. Robbing people of free will is just cause to go on the warpath, and he’s suggesting exactly that because he thinks his e-ministry vindicates him.
I wouldn’t count out Islam. It could easily spread in the West if a serious hard traditionalist movement broke out.
Islam is a simple religion for simple people. Simple rules, simple prayers, simple unitarian God. The only thing that’s difficult is you pretty much have to learn Arabic.
They could be a serious danger again in the future.
