I do think that atheism will keep growing. Deism seems sort of silly in that a god started the whole process but can't be seen or felt now. WTF? Something like secular Buddhism may catch on since it is certainly amenable to agnosticism and atheism or even deism or naturalism. It has the appeal of the ancients and is a tried and true method for growing as a person. It seems to have a potential for beneficial affects via knowing yourself, instilling a set of good values in society and personal meditation. Secular Buddhism is totally compatible with science, logic and rational thinking.
I am at least hopeful that we can move beyond what we have at the moment which is a total devaluation of personhood and a need to be a consumer above all else.
