The rise of Atheism..!

Atheism is rejection of God or rejection of existence of deities. The followers of this phenomena believe that  there is no spirit or God or any life force. Well you people might be thinking that this is a new religion. But its not like that. Religion is a set of beliefs while atheism is "lack of beliefs". It just puts its rejection of notion of universe's creation from a superhuman agency or agencies, has no devotional and ritual observances, and says nothing about the code of conduct of human affairs. Atheism is not a religion unless you significantly alter the conventional definition of Religion.


Talking about the demographics of atheists, which is my topic, the part of the world which is much crowded by atheists is Europe. 18% of the total European union citizens believe that there is no God, nor life force.  And the country with most number of atheists in this region is France. Around 33% . The graph below shows how atheism is spreading and Christianity is losing its grip. 

The graph of Christianity and no-religion seems mirror image of each other. The rush of a new phenomena is on the go. I don't know what will be the effects of this but there will be something that would change the world.....
