Religion can't die soon enough. It's leeching resources from people, repressing those it does approve of, and even if the philosophy is beneficent, someone will use it as an excuse to force their will and their beliefs onto others.

I’m surprised the numbers are that low, seeing more and more closed churches....

Perhaps if enough people get free of religion and conservatism we can start reinvesting in the education of our people.
Education has become so expensive in order to line the pockets of the rich.
This is encouraged by religion because they hate science, in particular biology, specifically evolution.
In the good old days American greatness was due to our public education.
Now the horrible status of America is due to our abysmal public education.
America will not be great again before college education is free for anyone able to keep up with the curriculum.
How many talented scientist, doctors, engineers, and even artist have lived compromised diminished lives because they couldn't afford to get the education they needed to flourish, while morons like Trump just shed money like COVID-19 virus and hold qualifications far far beyond their native capabilities.
I despise our educational gate keeping and I blame all of it on Christianity and it's twin brother ignorance.

Good news! All most 50% for gen z.

Ironically, the religious right has done more to harm religion than any anti-theist could ever hope to do. They will never again be able to claim any higher moral ground or make any claims that the morality of our elected officials matters.

And the religious especially the evangelicals know this and are running scared. A lot of energy is now being directed away from the developed countries (especially with the Catholic church) and toward the developing countries especially Africa.

It's only a matter of time at this point. Will religion and superstition destroy the Earth before there's an epiphany. By that I mean escape from the mental cage that Big Business, Religion, and Government placed us in.

I'd love to accept what this suggests. There may be fewer people going to a building to congregate, but there seems to be no shortage of believers.

People are discovering that religion is mythology, not reality.

I discovered this by (1) studying the biblical prophets and finding that Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and others were false prophets; (2) that there are many contradictions in the Bible; and (3) that many biblical stories are scientifically ridiculous.

Now I am free from the chains of mythology! Hooray!

I think the human race has already hit the point of no return and the fall of religion is inevitable, but we still have a long way to go.

America is slowly metamorphosing into the European attitude.

Adios!! Auf Wiedersehen!! CIAO, Goodbye!!

To the future!!
