Are Baptists beginning to recognize that atheist ideology is going to be a smaller threat to the Christian community in the future?

In 2017, the atheist vlogger AronRa wrote to some of his fellow atheists: "...since ya'll have effectively killed what was left of the atheist movement" (For details, please see the YouTube video at: AronRa Claims Mythcon Killed The Atheist Movement || Facebook Comments). 

Are the Baptists starting to recognize that atheist ideology is going to eventually going to be a smaller threat to the Christian community in the future?

On September 27, 2017, the Baptist Press reported:

Southern Baptist Theological Seminary has created a single master of divinity degree in apologetics in its Billy Graham School of Missions, Evangelism and Ministry, consolidating two current apologetics programs. 

Douglas K. Blount, professor of Christian apologetics at SBTS since 2015, will chair the Billy Graham School's new Department of Apologetics and World Religions. The seminary has had two separate apologetics concentrations -- one each in the school of theology and the Billy Graham School... 

The seminary also will offer a M.Div. concentration in Islamic studies led by Ayman Ibrahim, Bill and Connie Jenkins Assistant Professor of Islamic Studies at Southern Seminary, along with a master of arts in apologetics and the current M.A. in Islamic studies. 

Greenway projected that the new apologetics department will become one of Southern's premier programs, drawing on the "strength of our institution from top to bottom." 

The ultimate goal of the apologetics department is to train students not just to win intellectual arguments, but to have a concern for building the church, he said. The department will seek to equip pastors and teachers to be on the front line of engagement -- not just with non-believers or atheists, but also people of other faiths in an increasingly pluralistic culture.

According to the 2011 UK Census, 2.7 million Muslims live in England/Wales which is up by almost 1 million from the prior census, where Muslims form 5.0% of the general population and about 9% of children under the age of five (see: 2011 Census: Religion -local authorities in England and Walesand
