[QUOTE="Danny Tanner, post: 2479962, member: 10619"] Trends in many of the greatest nations show that religion is dying off. That doesn't mean that the idea of God, or gods, is dying, though. The internet broadens the availability of information. The more people learn facts that contradict claims made from the bible, a text supposedly the literal word of God, the more they question their religious beliefs (why do you think Islamic countries heavily filter/restrict internet usage?). Some question enough to turn to a disbelief in God, some question enough to continue a relationship with God on a personal level, but doing away with organized religion. I agree with Deerslayer in a sense that I wish the world were void of religion, but I know that'll never happen. Knowing that, I just wish religion would stay in the churches, minds, and homes of individuals and their families and out of the law books in which we ALL must abide. Until then, I'll be forever critical of religion. Allowing Christianity to dictate laws is unAmerican, considering we are not a theocracy. Much like the sometimes laughable religions of civilizations past, one day future civilizations will look back at us and laugh our religions, ironically and hypocritically much like civilizations today.
