@ Taz.
My only observed differance from the Former christian faith and the current is a whole lot more intermediaries. I think i can safely say that the number of aetheists has gone upwards at some sort of steady rate for quite some time, but i think the amount of fundemental-to-the-roots christians has dropped dramatically, and most have become IDers or otherwise-faithed christians. The weight of the evidance is increasingly on the opposite side of religion, and i dont think that that isnt registering in the population.
Then of course is the "quasi-christians". They may call themselves christian and put that on all their offical forms but they dont practice or dont specifically adhere to a certain system of beliefs, they are religious only in name. My general train of thought is that these people, and the children of these people are more likely to move away from christianity over the children of a fundy catholic family.
Maybe slow, but i would argue that the balance is shifting away from blind adherance in religion. Someone once argued that the aetheist movement is at the same place the gay movement was 10 years ago; that it will only take one outcry, one large snowball effect to begin to pick up speed.
