Just thought I'd share my thoughts on this. While traditional, organised religion is in decline, the spiritual belief isn't. The New Age, especially the bullshit put forward by Deepak Chopra is highly, highly popular. It's a million dollar industry which is trying to revive ''faith healing, astrology, etc''. These beliefs are just as, if not more irrational than organised religion, they're not organised beliefs, they're highly individualistic beliefs, but the level of irrationality isn't going away.
Religion isn't declining, it's just changing.
