Why Atheism Will Replace Religion: New Evidence

Stupid thread. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. Atheism has always existed. They were just known as "Pagans".

pagans were not atheists. they had their own god or gods and religions.

It depends on who you ask. Some people believe that pagans see a spirit in nature or are pantheists. They don't generally worship multiple gods but nature.

Religion
Baka religion is animist. They revere a supreme god called Komba, who they believe to be the creator of all things. However, this supreme god does not play much of a part in daily life, and the Baka do not actively pray to or worship Komba. Jengi, the spirit of the forest, has a much more direct role in Baka life and ritual. The Baka view Jengi as a parental figure and guardian, who presides over the male rite of initiation. Jengi is considered an integral part of Baka life, and his role as protector reaffirms the structure of Baka society, where the forest protects the men and the men in turn protect the women.
