Yes they said that!

RE: Yes they said that!
He claims that the secularization has little to do with people realizing how bad the arguments are for God.
Quote:It is simply not the case that in recent years tens of millions of Americans have suddenly started doubting the cosmological or ontological arguments for the existence of God

Yet, latter in his article he states.
Quote:First, religious people can look up their own religion on the Web and suddenly, even unwittingly, be exposed to an array of critiques or blatant attacks on their tradition that they otherwise would never have come across. Debunking on the Internet abounds, and whether one is a Mormon, a Scientologist, a Catholic, a Jehovah’s Witness—whatever—the Web exposes the adherents of every and any religious tradition to skeptical views that can potentially undermine personal certainty, rattling an otherwise insulated, confident conviction in one’s religion.

Hmm, I wonder why their confidence is rattled? Thinking Seems like a contradiction to his initial claim.
