The atheist website RationalWiki is losing global market share. Rationalwikians are also seeing declining editing of their website

RationalWiki is a wiki run by atheists/agnostics who are politically left leaning. It is predominantly run by "social justice warriors" (SJWs).

A RationalWiki editor who goes by the username ikanreed wrote on October 31, 2018 in relation to the declining editing of their wiki and the decline of the atheist/skeptic movement:

I think it's the massive reputation blow skepticism and rationalism itself has taken over the coarse of the last... I don't know, let's say 4 years...  The intellectual clout of rationalism has suffered dramatically, look at the way people talk about skeptics today versus 5 years ago.

According to the web traffic tracking company Alexa, the Rationalwiki has lost global market share since July of 2018.  In July 1, 2018, the Rationalwiki website was the 16,000th most popular website in the world. On November 2, 2018, according to Alexa, the Rationalwiki website was the 17,248th most popular website in the world.

As a law firm dedicated to defending religious freedoms, we are thrilled that Judge Kavanaugh has finally been confirmed to the Supreme Court.  Judge Kavanaugh has a solid history and commitment to protecting the religious freedoms and First Amendment rights of our citizens and has demonstrated in his many years on the bench a deep respect for the proper role of the judiciary. 

Economics and atheism

Below are some of our articles relating to economics and atheism:

Does atheism thrive on economic prosperity? Does religion prosper when people are desperate and ignorant?

Why a literal reading of Genesis is surging in the world

Social unrest in Europe altering its religious landscape

More evidence that 2018 is the WORST year in the history of atheism

Razib Khan points out in Discover Magazine, "most secular nations in the world are those of East Asia, in particular what are often termed 'Confucian societies'. It is likely therefore that the majority of the world’s atheists are actually East Asian."

Historically, Evangelical Christianity grows amidst economic/political instability (see: Economics and atheism ). Christianity is seeing explosive growth in China (See: Growth of Christianity in China ).

Veteran investor Dr. Ed Yardeni, President and Chief Investment Strategist of Yardeni Research, predicts that President Donald Trump will win his trade war with China and the victory will send the U.S. stock market roaring upward.

Newsweek declares, "Trump Is Winning the Trade War With China." Newsweek also recently published an article entitled Trump’s trade war has revealed China's surprising vulnerability

China data shows pressure is building on the Chinese economy.

Chinese stock markets battered by trade war fears.  No bottom in sight for Chinese stocks.

National Public Radio (NPR) indicates Donald Trump's latest threatened tariffs could affect China and its leadership (And therefore its atheistic, communist leadership which advocates atheism and persecutes religious believers). 

Ronald Reagan accelerated the downfall of the communists in the former Soviet Union. Will Trump accelerate a weakening/downfall of Chinese communism?

Donald Trump brought American atheists activists to their knees and caused them to become very despondent (See: Donald Trump and American atheists).

At the 2018 American Atheists National Convention, the ex-president of the American Atheists organization David Silverman declared about atheist movement post President Donald Trump's election:

It is a hard time to be an atheist activist. This has affected us. And it has affected our community... 

...it has really affected us. We are suffering a level of defeatism that I have never seen before... 

We feel the loss. And we feel like we have lost. We feel like we lost the election... We see this cascade of attack coming down at us over and over from all different directions and we feel like it's over. I have heard so many times it makes me sick. It makes me sad. It feels like we lost. 

The apathy that follows. It doesn't matter. We can't win anyways. It's useless to fight. This apathy is infecting us. It's hurting us. 

And people are reacting to each other now. And so that is causing a division. Lots and lots of division in our movement. Hard, bad division... And that has resulted in a splintering and factioning of the movement that I have never seen before and none of us have.
In other words, we're in a bad situation and it's getting worse.

Later in 2018, Silverman was fired due to allegations of financial conflicts and sexual assault.After Silverman was terminated from his job at American Atheists, The Washington Post declared concerning Silverman, "Since then, he has lost his job, longtime friends, sleep and weight."

In 2018, the morale of American atheists was very low! Imagine how low it will become when Donald Trump causes the growth of Christianity to accelerate in China!

Atheist David Silverman feels the effects of God's heavy artillery fire raining down on him
