I followed the link, and I don't buy those numbers at all. It seems more like an analysis of the Americas and European nations than the entire world. I know I've read otherwise. If I have time before my battery dies, I'll look it up...Kaytee said:only 12% of the population has no religion, plus 1% that are athiest, so I don't see how you can say "so many" look down upon religion. Christianity while falling, is still the highest percentage religious group, but looking at all other religions, again only 12 percent are non believers.
Regardless, I think the trend here in the US is definately moving away from organized religion.
