Theists afraid of change

[robvalue]

Especially when people have bunkered down hard on the crazy, they have little choice but to scream against all change and progress.

I wonder if it's the other way round, that people scared of change are drawn to religion?

I suppose the increasingly liberal side of religion is the closest thing to change, and really religion does need to get more and more liberal to avoid being a laughing stock. At least in countries where they can't just go around killing you for being atheist, which seems to be the last remaining tactic that religion has to fight the growth of atheism.

Atheism. Every day I think to myself, "I can't believe we need a word for this."
