Decline of religion

[arewethereyet]

Good education, and expanding knowledge will always chip away at superstition, but if people are happy and content and have what they need, then this goes a long way to negating the need for those superstitions in the first place. There's a reason that religions are in decline in developed democracies, but increasing in the poorest regions of undeveloped countries.

Poverty, ignorance, and lack of opportunity, are all catnip to superstition.

And that's how we ended up with the Cult of Trump.
