Is religion Dying?

[Doubting Thomas]

It's no coincidence that the fastest growing segment of Christianity - christmatic christianity - is also by far the most unapologetically superstitious, anti-intellectual and moronic even amongst Christians.

The same thing often happens in cults, though I'm not sure if there's a name for it or not. The more level-headed members leave (after, say, a scandal involving the leader or an end-of-the-world prediction doesn't come to pass), and the crazier, diehard members stay. So the crazy tends to become more concentrated.
