    I think the internet will have a big impact in the next few years. Remember, it's still only in its infancy.

    As internet access increases, the ease of accessing such a huge amount of information free from any censorship will give rise to people holding much more informed beliefs and opinions. IMHO, I think this will result in many more people adopting atheism. I mean, just think, when African nations that have known nothing but Christianity gain widespread access to the internet, opinions are going to become a lot more varied.

    That will work both ways. Africans getting online for the first time will find plenty of support for the beliefs they've been given.

    The internet already is, and will continue to be the setting for the Battle Royale for souls.
