PRJA93, I'm afraid you underestimate the human capacity for stupidity. I've been guilty of that myself but never again.
Exhibit A: The election of Donald Trump. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. All the information at our fingertips accomplished nothing. This is a man who has been in the public eye since the 1980s. We have long known exactly what he is. But tens of millions of fucking idiots voted for him anyway. Information by itself isn't useful; you need to have a brain to process it.
There is no doubt that religion is on the decline and I'm sure it will continue. At some point though, it will bottom-out because of human stupidity. Hopefully, that bottoming-out will be at a level where religion no longer has a significant impact on society.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
