It's still a far smaller issue than it was in the past, depending on what part of the world you live in. And the sheer fact that people are actually concerned about it is a big step forward. ****, the fact that we can even afford to worry about it due to life expectancy being so high and infant mortality rate being so low is as close to a miracle as an atheist like me is willing to acknowledge.
As far as I'm concerned, anybody who thinks that the world is worse off today than it was has a persecution complex the same as any Christian who believes that the world is coming to an end in their life time. Of course they're living through the worst time the world has ever seen. Of course this time that they're living through just ever so happens to be the time that Jesus rides down on his white horse.
