Your statements above leave me unsure of your focus.First you make the case that the fall of western civilization is because of people turning away from theocracy which statistically seems improbable as globally the purported figures for those who lack of theocratic belief ranges between 5 and 15% depending on the source.Then you state the rise of Islam is because "The message of Islam resonates with many because it is closer to the Truth than the message of humanism."With the purported goals of the rise of Islam being the destruction of western civilization (with its supporters now nearing 50% of the earths population), it would seem there's much more reasonable fear of the destruction of our civilization will come at the hands of Muslims than a minute statistical rise in the number of atheists.Most of we atheists really just want theists to be the kind, loving and accepting souls they all espouse themselves to be, with world peace as a byproduct of that acceptance. While I suppose some could view that as irrational, I'm unsure how supportable such a claim could be, nor how such a hope would lead to the demise of western civilization.Muslims however, do not seem to hold such a view and herald persecution and even death of anyone believing differently than themselves as reasonable and even a true act of profession of their faith. Seems like there's far more reason to fear Islam and its spread than could reasonably be accredited to atheism ;>)
