guess this is the case all across Western Europe, places like Poland and Hungary are still quite devout but Western Europe is not, even Italy and Ireland aren't devout anymore, I wonder what the future holds for Western Europe, US, Australia etc; atheistic dictatorship or Sharia law?

How would either an "atheistic dictatorship" or Sharia law be that much different from what you guys want? A (catholic) theocratic dictatorship?
We had plenty of those in the past, it didn't really work out.
Have you noticed that the Western European countries, which are less religiously conservative, tend to have a higher standard of living and tend to be more stable?
I'm not getting into ChristoPaganism like I said I was considering, earlier. I prefer a more universal approach. I'm a NeoPagan who takes the wisdom of many faiths and strips them down to their metaphysical components. Jesus was kind of cool but Organized Religion is kind of dumb.
If spiritual belief is to continue existing, it should ditch all that organized stuff. Either that or all religions use my idea of The Demiurge and apply it to all faiths. That way, frummerism doesn't get a foothold and reason reigns supreme.
Frums are a dying breed. This resurgence of wingnuttery all over the place is merely the last hurrah before it dies. Gaea's just going through labor.

"Atheist Sharia"
Atheria?

Dude, I live here. Cultural Christianity is a big thing but people aren't devout at all. Our most widespread swearing construct wishes the target to be forcefully impaled on God's dick, all words explicit; maybe this is what you mistake for devotion. I was 30 y.o. before I saw someone say blessings over a meal, and had to travel to the USA to see that. So, no.
less devote.
Funny how that works.
An Atheistic dictatorship would probably resemble the more secular nations we see today. Barring monarchies or voting in megalomaniacs which would be unlikely as we are currently witnessing only the devote religious admire and vote for such people.

I'd guess it would be easier to go from one devotion to the other, than going from doubt of religions to sharia laws. The future probably holds more secular progressiveness.
Funnily enough, it's the Western Europe that is the more prosperous, while Poland and Hungary are still more or less second-world countries. (One of Sweden's racist party members have actually done the famous "I hate immigrants; I'm going to move to a country that doesn't accept immigrants", and moved to Hungary...)
Freedom, right. Except women have to cover up, extreme censorship, and look the other way at the rape gangs.
