Ayaan Hirsi Ali on Converting Muslims to Christianity
Ayaan Hirsi Ali is onto something. Some people need a religion; i.e. atheism is not right for everyone. Competition among ideas is a good thing—with competition the best ideas will win out. The problem here is that large numbers of people are not exposed to a wide variety of ideas. I think most people, if provided the right circumstances, would gravitate to atheism (appeals to human-logic). With the rise of the internet we will see the continuation of the rise of atheism (and obviously the down-fall of religion). We have already seen the rise of atheism in America because of this, once the internet starts to take off more in places like the Middle East, atheism will rise there as well, forcing the fundamentalist to take a more secular/moderate stance.
