I know theists here will just pick on those words and not read the article... but heck, at least we can later make fun of them for that.
I liked the conclusion

Quote:To Conclude
To conclude, religion is declining because of the increase in choice, education, information, bad press, the idea that it is useless or counterproductive and the idea that its fundamental principles are illogical.
Perhaps it is a natural progression of society to leave religion and begin instilling morality through education and understanding, rather than fear and fallacies.
Religion is like the scaffolding of a society - It helps create it, but at some point it has to go.
