The Atheist Crisis in the West: A Silent Collapse
A civilization that forgot God… and is now falling apart.
They told the West:
"You don’t need God."
"Science is enough."
"Man is his own master."
"Religion is backwards."
They mocked scripture in media.
They worshiped human reason over divine guidance.
But now?
The results are too painful to deny:
Record-breaking depression
Anxiety and suicide epidemics
Skyrocketing loneliness — even in crowded cities
Families collapsing — marriage and childbirth at historic lows
Meaninglessness — a whole generation asking: "What’s the point?"
According to the World Health Organization:
"Depression is a leading cause of disability worldwide and a major contributor to the global burden of disease."
According to studies from Pew Research:
Actively religious individuals are more likely to describe themselves as 'very happy' compared to their less religious or unaffiliated counterparts.
And the most atheist countries?
— Sweden
— Japan
— Norway
— France
— Canada
— America’s younger generations
They have the highest rates of depression, suicide, drug addiction, and social isolation.
Because when you remove Allah from life:
You remove hope.
You remove purpose.
You remove truth.
Islam gives what atheism can never offer:
Purpose — You were created to know Allah and worship Him.
Hope — Every trial has meaning. Every pain has reward.
Justice — Every wrong will be judged perfectly by Allah.
Dignity — You are honored by your soul, not your wealth or looks.
Peace — Because you submit to the One who controls everything.
“Those who believe and whose hearts find tranquility in the remembrance of Allah — indeed, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.”
— [Qur’an 13:28]
Atheism gave them technology —
But it stole their hearts.
Atheism gave them entertainment —
But left them empty inside.
Atheism gave them comfort —
But left them dying of despair.
Only Islam restores the broken heart.
Only Islam fills the starving soul.
Only Islam connects the human being back to his Creator — and brings true peace in this world and the next.
Dear seeker:
You were made for more than this collapsing world.
You were made to know and worship the King of the heavens and the earth: Allah.
