It is worth noting that when Christianity was strong, we had the advantage of the cultural transmission belt working in our favor.

Now that atheism is strong, the cultural transmission belt is in their favor. It is not gone, but it is weaker on our side.
 
I thought that in Catholic belief people came to the Church as a result of grace, not because of ‘cultural transmission’.
 
Before it gets brought up:
I do not propose the genetic fallacy that it is wrong because it was learned from ones parents.
 
It might be worth noting that there are still far, far, far more people in the United States that identify as some sort of Christian then there are that identifies as some sort of atheist or agnostic.
 
Where are all the grace driven people? RCIA has very few people in a world of expanding atheism.

Next off, that statement creates its own problem. Strong quantities of grace output being drawn towards Catholicism. Bob has no Grace thus never gets drawn towards the church. At the last judgement, he tells God “Where was that grace I needed”?
 
I demonstrate the driving force of Catholicism can pull less force. Atheism can now harvest that force.

What country are you from. From the US perspective I wouldn’t say that “cultural transmission” is in atheism’s favor. Rather that a near monopoly has weakened.

Also, I don’t see atheism as something to being transmitted to a truly effective degree.
