Rise of atheism in Egypt sparks concern
http://gulfnews.com/news/region/…
In a sign of unprecedented concern, Egypt’s top Islamic official recently warned against the spread of atheism in the traditionally religious country.
“Atheism is no longer a marginal issue,” Shaikh of Al Azhar, Ahmad Al Tayeb, said on Egyptian state TV. “It has become one of the many challenges facing the country. There are agencies and institutions in the country concerned about this issue.”
The top cleric’s warning has apparently prompted the Egyptian government, struggling to rejuvenate an ailing economy and keep defiant Islamists under control, to give attention to the reported rise in the number of atheists.
The ministries of Waqfs (Religious Endowments) and Youth have said they will launch a nationwide campaign to tackle atheism in the predominantly Muslim country. The planned drive will recruit the efforts of moderate clergymen, psychologists, sociologists and political specialists to address the youth, according to local media.
“The spread of atheism is linked to extremism,” said Amnah Nuseir, a professor of Islamic Creed at the Islamic Al Azhar University.

When, where and who will the God Fearing Christian's attack and declare Jesus Jihad on next? It has been a while since these hypercritical mindless warmongering sheep declared war on someone besides the muslims.

Today in unnerving statistics, a poll has found more Britons believe in aliens and ghosts than God.
The survey of 1,500 adults and 500 children, carried out online for Ripley’s Believe It or Not! by OnePoll, found more than half of adults believe that there is alien life, while only a quarter believe in God.

organized religion have problems for sure, because original messages are corrupted by people.
