Is the Atheist Bubble About to Pop?

A few quotes from John Gray's article, The Atheist Delusion:

"An atmosphere of moral panic surrounds religion. Viewed not so long ago as a relic of superstition whose role in society was steadily declining, it is now demonised as the cause of many of the world's worst evils. As a result, there has been a sudden explosion in the literature of proselytising atheism. A few years ago, it was difficult to persuade commercial publishers even to think of bringing out books on religion. Today, tracts against religion can be enormous money-spinners…For the first time in generations, scientists and philosophers, high-profile novelists and journalists are debating whether religion has a future."

"The mass political movements of the 20th century were vehicles for myths inherited from religion, and it is no accident that religion is reviving now that these movements have collapsed. The current hostility to religion is a reaction against this turnabout. Secularisation is in retreat, and the result is the appearance of an evangelical type of atheism not seen since Victorian times."

"Today secular faith is ebbing, and it is the apostles of unbelief who are left stranded on the beach."
