Why atheism grows faster than religion

http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-human-beast/201005/why-atheism-will-replace-religion

A dry but short article restating ideas behind why the more economically developed a society is, the fewer the number of believers.

The article's usefulness lies in a few stats and a quick run over those aforementioned ideas. Unfortunately, it contains no counter to those who would point out that religious societies are growing at a faster rate than non-religious ones. One would have to assume simply from this article that religion's greatest enemy is economic growth and education, which is perhaps a too simplistic viewpoint.
