Christians boast about retention rate

The whole retention rate business is suspect. The success of retaining say Pentecostals has to do with brainwashing the children. We don't do that. We may protect them from some activities that their friends are lured into in the Christian frame of mind. These things are everywhere, schools and sports and all. But we encourage them to seek their own solution and information. If my children decided to be Buddhists, I would not see that as a failure. They would never reject science as the solution to some everyday event, even if they wandered off a bit from "atheism." We do not teach sunday school atheism. We take them to the natural history museum.

I'm actually surprised by the muslim retention rate, 24% will not follow their parents religion. Maybe there is hope for humanitiy after all.

In the west, perhaps. In muslim heartlands, being an apostate is often a death sentence - just look at the recent waves of murders of Bangladeshis who have renounced religion...
