The incredible shrinking religion

[bladevalant546]

I think religion as an organized entity is shrinking. I however still find myself spiritual, however in the sense I find solace in our humble place in the universe and how many things had to come together for our existence. Only difference I believe nature did this and not a deity. If there is a deity then its purpose is not what religions say it is. So in short, I think the human race is growing up, and the need for personal friend that is always there is shrinking. However, I think the "spiritual" or philosophical nature that religion will leave behind will remain. Even myself still find some peace and wisdom in Jesus's words. Religion played an important role, and its philosophy is still important even if it is without a deity.
