Religion, in and of itself, is almost irrelevant. Honestly it does not matter to me when a bunch of fools waste their Sunday mornings listening to a bunch of crap about some mythical being. The problem with religion is when adherents try to make use of their numbers to create political problems in a society. Islam is the most obvious case but even in the US we have seen a serious effort by jesus freak assholes to write their silly superstitions into the law.
Western Europe, OTOH, provides us with a glimpse of how things can be when religion is no longer a factor.
I do see....possibly within 20-30 years religion in the US going the way of Europe and simply being phased out as a driving force in politics because their numbers are declining.
This will be a welcome change.
