Meh, atheists still are (and always will be) a very small minority in the world. Theres always gonna be a lot more relgious people than atheist people, and that puts smile on my face :)

You are aware that there are countries in Europe, where atheist are actually the majority right?

not a single one, except Estonia

And the Czech Republic and Sweden (according to that Eurobarometer Poll). It's a start. Plus there are also a lot of countries on that Poll where agnostics outnumbered the religious. Also atheists and agnostics combined outnumbered the religious in 19  out of the 32 countries featured in that poll.

20 years ago nobody would believed the massive decline in Christianity in Europe.

It is incredible that such a drastic change can happen over a short period of time. Who knows, maybe there will be some other drastic switch in the next 20 years.

Well, I presume that some sort of disaster that could set humanity back a couple of hundred years might happen within the next 20 years. That or some sort of opressive religious dictatorship conquering Europe.
