Richard Dawkins did a documentary called The Enemies of Reason which was interesting but sad.
While religion was declining, equally silly and primitive Astrological beliefs are becoming more popular.
A betrayal of the enlightenment?
It isn't that religion is declining, old religions are declining. People get tired of what they see is the abusive old ways but simply replace old woo with new woo. It is still our species inability to accept that all it is is placebo gap filling to give ourselves a sense of false comfort.
