Of course, if the standard of ALL education were raised then there would ne a faster religious decline. Academic achievement needs to be praised far more, and athletic prowess be less adulated.

This just means that people are not going to church and are treating the ritual of attending church services differently.

This does not mean that there is a mass exodus away from wishful, magical thinking. Many non-religious, spiritual but not religious people still believe in a sky daddy.

I have said it many times and will continue saying it. Many people here worship at the alter of the left side of a fanatical government cult.

It's the same behavior.

I would hope to think that anyone who does think sees the evangelical support of our liar in chief making a mockery of that type of religion anyway. Kids that actually get an education are aware of this.

Not fast enough.

This is a really good news. Looks like I will get to see at least a good beginning of the revolution in my lifetime.

Unfortunately the make-up of lawmakers, in the States, don't reflect the population in this.

I'm not certain about the rest of the world but currently the United States seems to be suffering from a shift away from faith to embracing one of complete ignorance, selfishness and stupidity.

Hesitate to bring this up for fear of being labelled a stereotypical fanboy atheist lol ... but it’s around about that time, those “four horsemen” started speaking out very publicly against religion. I for one, am grateful and think they deserve credit and even a bit of adulation for their efforts.

It's taken long enough! Most of the world has drifted well away from dedication to religion.
Let's hope the US catches up rapidly.

People are waking up.

Religion is an obvious lie and sooner or later more people were bound to see that and choose to leave it behind but it took longer than it should've for those people to notice the obvious.

Good to hear that.........while religion will never die entirely, im glad that a lot of folks are waking up.
