On the contrary - it is Atheism that has brought down the West and has also made it possible for it for the West to be taken over by Islam.
Something that very few Atheists have the brain to understand.
Still, no doubt it all falls within Allah's Providence !
There is a pandemic of paedophilia throughout the Western world - and even more so outside the Catholic Church than within it.
Belief that "everything is fleeting" is one of the foundation-stones of Pessimism.
