I would say Islam. What people do not realize is that atheism is nothing new. Only the label is new. Atheists have existed since the dawn of man. Most people are labeled Muslim or Christian or Hindu, because they are born and taught the religion by their family. That does not make them religious by default. I would guess 40% – 60% grow up to become irreligious. Which is the same as atheist. Atheists openly acknowledge their lack or religion, irreligious people don't bother even with that.
So you have CHRISTIAN, MUSLIM, IRRELIGIOUS and ATHEIST.
Atheism is actually a religion. Because when you openly start preaching to religious people to get rid of their religion, you are "preaching". booo. But most people who are joining atheism are irreligious people who had stopped believing in their parental religions to begin with.
As such practicing christians are not so much threatened by atheism and its resulting nihilism, but by Islam because Islam offers a exact replica but with less theological complications and a more robust salvation system that mirrors the practical systems of crime and punishment and deterrence used by all societies. Not to mention the recognition of Jesus as a man of God. References :
The Christian faith is not threatened neither by Islam nor by atheism.
It is undergoing a rapid change because it is a religion of development – and this will influence worlds destiny more than many might expect, be it that churches are not needed anymore.
Please this need clarification. That's why I gave my view on Facebook: Naqsbhandi Muhibbin Discussion Group: "Believe". References :
No.
But because it is illogical teaching such as trinity, God has a Son. And the Son has family tree which is link to human with no blood relation such as Joseph, the husband of his mother which married to virgin Mary after Mary pregnant.

Individuals "perceive" threats or not… not whole groups. That's lumping too many people into one group which is not wise statistically.

I will only feel more threatened by atheists when they fly planes into buildings and blow themselves up in crowded locations.

Actually the greatest threat to the Christian faith is Christians.
Their behavior, attitudes and political choices do more harm than any other religion or non-religion.
