I think that if catholicism has lost attendees and has lost registered members, It's quite a stretch to say that they have not lost believers. That evidence in itself is the proof that the catholic church is declining and I can't for the life of my atheist brain imagine how one could prove otherwise. However, if you would like to try to provide some evidence or statistics I would be happy to entertain them. And one thing for certain, I am entertained by such ideas!
But atheists and religion-haters, will twist and spin info by saying Catholicism has lost believers.. when its actually lost attendance, and registered members. Because.. many people are taking church out of their lives, and having religion with-in-themselves.
