Does anyone seriously believe that one day all religion will die?

You reminded me of a line from a song written by an aging southern veteran during the reconstruction-era and speaking of the north.

I can't take up my musket
And fight 'em now no more,
But I ain't going to love 'em,
Now that is certain sure;

You just reminded me of how I heard that song for the first time right after the 2004 election. Listening to civil war songs seemed appropriate considering how divided our nation was and still is. I was very shocked and angry that the fundies had so effectively mobilized to re-elect a man who'd lied us into a war. It was enough to make me temporarily suspend all feelings of connection to my own country. It didn't take much for me to write new lyrics to the song to suit my feelings at the time:

Oh, I'm a good old heathen, now that's just what I am.
for this 'Christian nation', I do not give a damn.
I'm glad I fought again' er, I only wish we'd won.
I ain't ask no forgiveness from any godling son.

I hates this 'Christian nation', and everything they do.
I hates their 'holy' Bible and ten commandments too.
I hates their politicians, their hands are drenched in blood.
I hates the bloody crosses, I fit them all I could.

I'd taken up my ballot, they ended up with more.
But I ain't gonna love em, now that is certain sure.
And I don't ask no pardon for what I was and am.
I won't be 'saved' or preached at and I do not give a damn.

Oh, I'm a good old heathen, now that's just what I am.
for this 'Christian nation', I do not give a damn.
I'm glad I fought again' er, I only wish we'd won.
I ain't ask no forgiveness from any godling son.

Yeah, I was really bitter at that time. The irony of using one of their songs wasn't lost on me.
