Opinion in belief
I was reading an atheist book that suggests god is dead and he never existed that humanity made him up to bring comfort to those living in fear and anxiety ... anyways what’s your opinion? Is god dead?

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters I think it means the [i]conce[/b]pt [/i]of God is dying. Humanity has believed in God one way or another for millennia, and due to the artificially high numbers of atheists in the West for the last few decades, that's on the way out. Thus atheist numbers will continue to climb until all belief in God is extinguished.

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP thanks for the explanation.
We in the West (myself included) sometimes forget that the majority of the world's population doesn't live in the West and they all mainly believe in God in some way , either as monotheism or as polythism.
It would be interesting to check out the stats in which Christian groups Atheism is on the rise. My guess is that it's a lot less among Catholics .
I don't think belief is on it's way out.
