Will The Internet Kill Religion?

[*Deidre*]

Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. Christianity still holds the highest numbers but once the elderly population dies off, the numbers will dwindle. Muslims have more children than Christians currently, so it stands to reason that Islam will eventually surpass Christianity (for a whole host of reasons) and atheism will be the second largest cohesive group under it.

I forgot you are Christian. Lol Are you a "cradle Christian" or did you convert as an adult? Are you strong in your faith? I'm just curious. :-)

I have devout Muslim friends who honestly are quite pious about their faith and love others, putting them first. Not all Muslims are radical and hate those who are non-Muslim. But, it is the fastest growing religion, currently.

I honestly "predict" atheism becoming the largest cohesive group, some day. Religions that are oppressive, don't last forever. I wonder what the great psychics have to say? Just joking, I don't believe in psychics.

Truth is, to your point, I shudder to think of any religion "dominating" the globe.
:/

We also have to keep in mind that Atheists are pest through Islamic goggles, less in worth than Christians and Jews. Jihad groups are likely to get much more trigger happy at that point.

I would love to see the day religion is abolished, but I know that's unlikely. For now I'll contribute to it's dawn as much as I could.

Interesting comment.

The irony of what you say here sort of runs counter to the OT. I kind of think that the internet as much as it's brought awareness AGAINST religion, it has also caused many people to lean towards it.

There are religous message sites much like this one we're on here, that help lead people towards religion.

My opinion is that if religion would keep to itself, I'd be ok with it. It is that it tries to get others to join it, often in coercive ways, or deviant ways...oppressive methods. It also has no business in government and politics, and while we have made strides in keeping religion and government separate here in the US, we still have a long way to go!
