Does anyone else see this

I don't think this is surprising among the 20-something's and younger, but I am always surprised to have discussions with the 30 and 40 year olds who have thrown away their religious views for something else less structured, if not atheism.
It's not easy putting a number on this because its viewed as impolite to talk about religion on a general non-political, non-world stage level in my area.

As for these people who go searching for answers and end up at some vague definition of a personal god that has nothing to do with any organization, I say more power to them. I view them in the same way I used to view religion when I first became an atheist, which was "well they aren't hurting anybody" (before I did the research) and I won't question their belief in a ridiculous god. In fact, as unlikely as it is, if all organized religion is pushed out and replaced by each individual having their own personal definition of god, I would call that a win and call a time of death on religion.

I am all for personal god or god(s). But i am not for is leading people into one world view like religion is doing. Its time that people made up their own god(s) instead of teaching one of hate and violence. All in all i agree with you there needs to be a time were all religion that is structured to go away.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.
