I am reminded of the Soviet era story about two Communist apparatchiks visiting a church.
The one says to the other, “See, Comrade, the only people here are old women! The triumph of state atheism is at hand! Soon there will be no believers in Russia!”
The other shakes his head and says, “No, Comrade, there will always be old women.”
Translation:
Those same “old women” are the ones who PRAY for their children and grandchildren and pass along the faith.
