That could be true (though, atheism is on the rise, despite religious people having more children than non-believers on avg). But it's also orthogonal to the question at hand. Existence or non-existence of proponents of a given POV at a given point it time doesn't say much about the validity of the POV itself.
- antepodius 6y agoThe POV's perfectly valid, because it's a set of values, which can't really be invalid per se. But if I had the chance to pick my own values, I wouldn't want to have ones that were antimemetic.
