It will survive because alienated youth choose Islam because it gives purpose and stability, atheism is nothingness, it lacks all the good stuff like hope and destiny.

In the West it’s the case.

In Somalia it’s cultural, they are too dumb.

Atheism and agnosticism are winning in the West.

Nobody worthwhile is converting to Islam, only former drug addicts and convicts.

Islam is only rising through immigration and birthrates, not through conversions.

The xenophobia of the West seems to only make people more religious not less. But at the same time, it seems like they take on that religious conservatism as a form of defence mechanism and not necessarily because their faith is stronger.
 
This is what "wahabi" ideologies do. Even though somalis are wearing more religious clothes and have bigger beards, they have become more savage, less humane and tribalist. This is a perfect example of wahabism hypocricy
Exactly. I miss back then when Somalis wore dirac/guntiino instead of jilbab, and weren't as tribalist.

Yeah there’s a strong evolutionary factor involved, they are religious because it helps them live through hard moments. Religiosity might increase because of that.

It’s all about appealing to emotion.

I wouldn’t care about it, atheism won’t make us smarter

Temporarily maybe, but as people develop closer ties and emotional bonds to the communities they live in and the geopolitical scene of the world changes, they might start feeling less defensive, less under attack.

Not if they live isolated

With the assimilationist policies many right-wing governments are enacting lately, they won't be living so isolated for long. But then again, that might backfire and just make people even more resistant to change.

Yes it will backfire because Wahhabism is rebellious and anarchy by nature, they despise authority like teenagers do...

Too many young people let the geopolitics of the world influence the way they construct their religious identities.
