The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Which is made all the more interesting by the fact that non-belief is at an all-time high, and rising. In the 80s the rate of non-belief was something like 10%. Give or take. Recent data I have seen say that it's up to 30%.

Hmmm...actually it took a slight dip recently:

pewresearch.org - Religious nones in america who they are and what they believe

It's still more than 2x the rate of 40 years ago. There has been a lot of speculation that the internet is responsible for a lot of that. Before, people lived sheltered lives. They weren't exposed to new ideas. The internet gave them that exposure, and the theist arguments could never hold up (because they're false), and many theists lost their faith. Heck, at TMF I'm aware of at least two that tried to come to Atheist Fools to "school" us, and ended up joining us because they realized their arguments were fallacious nonsense.
