In some European nations, the number of people considering themselves to be non-religious has increased from around 30% in 1980, to over 90% now.li Although large numbers of Muslims populate the continent, a substantial portion are now only “culturally” Muslim, rather than having a literal interpretation of the Koran. Mainstream Islam has begun a reformation and modernisation in recent years – aided by improvements in education, combined with the broad homogenisation of culture resulting from globalisation, the Internet, international agreements and other factors.[/li]
Medical advances are undermining religion as a whole, by greatly diminishing the fear of death, while developments in AI, robotics and biotechnology are beginning to trivialise the miracles on which many ancient religions are based. The increasing presence of androids in society – along with other forms of sentience – is adding a whole new dimension to the way humans view themselves and their place in the Universe. The ability to communicate with certain artifically enhanced animals (such as dolphins, monkeys and domestic pets) is also contributing to this trend.
Spirituality continues to play a role in European cultures – but is now based more on nature and physical reality, rather than myths, dogma or supernatural forces.
The USA still lags behind Europe in terms of atheistic belief, however. It will be another century before America reaches the same level; even longer for certain parts of Asia. Even then, a small percentage of citizens will continue to worship a God (or Gods), well into the next millenium. These people will tend to be those who reject science and technology, or have purposefully chosen to isolate themselves from the rest of the world. @GREY2020@patco maoni yenu? Hehe.

Although large numbers of Muslims populate the continent-hapa tosha. so far they do believe in the religion of Islam, that’s better, if they follow the QURAN teachings etc, or not, then that’s its their own path and life. By time, they will wake up and start following the correct path as prescribed in the Holy Quran and know what they did is either pass or fail, good or bad.
There is something else that you ought to understand here. A muslim can have faith in this religion but doesn’t abide by whats to be followed / done accordingly, that is not for me or any other to judge. There isn’t a moderate or un-moderate Islam or Muslim, Islam is Islam, you follow and abide the Quran, thats it.
And also, Islam doesn’t force you to convert, its up to to yourself to find the truth. Anyone who says its a forceful to convert religion, they are liars, because a verse in the Holy Quran states:
“Allah does not require of any soul more than what it can afford. All good will be for its own benefit, and all evil will be to its own loss”.
So if Europe if any other part of the World has less or more , Muslims, i cant judge it, He, Our Creator, has the final command in this. Studies in the 21st century suggest that, in terms of percentage and worldwide spread, Islam is the fastest-growing major religion the world.

So the creator is messing up with his creation then?
As i have always said, peaceful countries with BETTER living standards,good education and a working govt(dont even think about saying US or UK) have no god in their day to day lives,not in their anthem,legal tender nor their pledge of allegiance,you cannot even hear a squeak out of them but they live better than most . True or false
Reminds me of the song,hotel california,“you can check in any time you want,but you can never leave”
What is the REAL punishment for apostacy in islam? [SIZE=1]clue:-[/SIZE]13 countries are happy to give answers.
I couldnt help noticing how you say ‘islam’ with reverement ,you remind me of christians who each claim their sect is THE ONE. suffice to say,islam has 2 major branches who cant stop squabbling and another 71 sects (with sub sects some weird as fcuk) according to hadith but im sure yours is the ‘saved one’ ,you call it “naji” right?
Religion is just a farce,conditioning and a brainwash mechanism that has worked well over 3000 years,the Al Saud;) know this better. I dont judge [SIZE=1]that much:D[/SIZE]
The Chinese are fairly decent people, probably among the least corrupt and also mostly morally upright and do not believe in gods. Compare with highly religious Africans, they are unethical, lazy, corrupt, tribal, and have high rates of sexual immorality.
Spirituality according to nature and physical reality is all that is needed.
A man that seeks harmony with himself and the Universe is all that matters.
Whether it involves bringing in Islam or Christianity is another thing.
Al-Saud ndio kwa wao ndio walileta Uislamu ? Au wao ndio Waliletewa wao Uislamu ? They are just rulers of Country whereas the 2 most important sacred places of the Muslim World have i.e. Makkah & Madina, these are our places as muslims, not the whole of the Saudia.
Couldn’t help noticing how you say ‘islam’ with reverement- Am truly honored to be a muslim and born in the religion of Islam.
Islam has 2 major branches- Islam is one religion, what came after i.e. these sects sunnis, shias, suffiis, came after the Death of Our Beloved Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). He didnt preach either of them sect, he preached Pure Islam. Those people who differed after the 4 caliphates are the ones who caused sectisim.
Hadiths are what the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said and did, and they are also followed even though they arent mentioned in the QURAN.
according to hadith but im sure yours is the ‘saved one’ ,you call it “naji” right?-- hapa sijakuelewa.
Religion is just a farce,conditioning and a brainwash mechanism- Its ok to believe what you believe what you say, you arent forced to believe in either religions, BUT i pray that one day, you find the truth, before you die, ofcourse, because if you die not believing in God, then my freind, where you end will be upon yourself to blame.
