Description
TheTriumph of Faith explodes the myth that people around the world are abandoning religion. Stark marshals an incredible amount of dataāsurveys of more than a million people in 163 nationsāto paint the full picture that both scholars and popular commentators have missed. He explains why the astonishing growth of religion is happening, and what it means for our future.
Starkās lively, eye-opening book is full of insights that defy the conventional wisdom. He reveals:
ā¢ Why Islam is not overtaking Christianity
ā¢ 81 percent of people around the world claim to belong to an organized religious faith
ā¢ Half of the people around the world attended a worship service in the past week
ā¢ Despite all the attention paid to the āNew Atheists,ā atheists remain few, anywhere
ā¢ Latin America has never been so Catholicāand thatās because there are now so many Protestants there
ā¢ Of all the great world religions, only Buddhism may not be growing
As Stark shows, secularists have been predicting the imminent demise of religion for centuries. It is their unshakeable faith in secularization that may be the most āirrationalā of all.
