Will The Internet Kill Religion?

[RobbyPants]

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.

Well, I could also see Islam becoming much more moderate with the Internet, as well. From my understanding, your average American Muslim is much more moderate than a Muslim from a third-world country. That likely has a lot to do with education. They condemn the violence associated with radical Islam.

The most dangerous adherents tend to be xenophobic. Areas with a lot of diversity tend to be much more accepting of other cultures and views. As people get more and more connected, I can see the religion transforming at the same time.

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.

I think it's still a while off, but I agree that it could happen. Before it does so, I'd expect to see the vast majority of Christian and Islam adherents become much more moderate/liberal in their beliefs, and I'd expect to see fundamentalism viewed with the same sort of disdainful mockery as Scientology is today.
