If only truth was a democracy.
"popular Christian YouTube channel, shockofgod"
Describing someone on YouTube who's videos typically get under 500 views as "popular" is missing the forest full of trees. There are many many atheists on YouTube that get 20 times the view count that shockofgod gets. This study seems to be connecting dots with confirmation biases such as - atheism is false, truth is a democracy, etc. It's sad that they felt it necessary to construct a pseudo-study that merely encompasses a biased perception of reality and seeks after no objective understanding.
The church's records in my case are not aware of my atheism (very difficult to study the amount of atheists in society because of inaccurate records). There is no doubt that as a society, we are becoming less religious (even the majority of Christians are not that devoted to the faith). Atheism isn't going anywhere. Like many, Shockofgod wishes there were no atheists. If there were no atheists, it would make it easier for believers to believe in their comforting (albeit fictitious) beliefs. Atheism is the disbelief in the gods of others, even shockofgod is an atheist outside of his belief in the Christian god.
Atheism exists in all humans by default (well all humans confronted with contradictory gods), some people are aware of this fact, and are able to withdraw themselves from the belief in gods all together, making them a total-atheist.
What's funny about Christians is that they worship ideas, and this makes them guilty of idolatry (even though they aren't aware if it, like they aren't aware of many things).
"my imaginary friend is better than yours"
Our society going through another Dark Age (what fundamentalists seemed to be striving for) does not disprove atheism, but proves human fallacy.
