Will The Internet Kill Religion?

[Chad32]

I started questioning things before I got into the internet, but the internet was a BIG reason I now call myself an atheist. Like the woman in the video said, the internet makes it a lot easier to get information and talk to people with different worldviews.

All through my childhood, we'd sometimes joke about what christmas trees and rabbits have to do with christianity, but no one was going to say it's a hold over from pagan religions. My pastor wasn't going to tell me that christianity incorporated belief systems into it to help convert people. No one was going to say that the idea of a virgin birth wasn't unique to Jesus. No one even said there really were people long ago that worshiped Zeus just as fervently as we worship Jesus today. No one explained that the days of the week are named after Norse gods.

It takes seconds to find out things that used to take hours. That's a big change.
