There is an article I posted earlier today that says the DOD considers non-religious to be CURRENTLY 20% or higher in the armed forces. I am hoping that by the end of my lifetime that America is at least 40 - 50 percent of the population. The net will have the greatest effect I predict. Many will say 20 years from now that they came to atheism/non-belief through the net as their number one reason of deconversion.
I hope my prediction comes true.
For so long religion has been dominant and influential. It's about time it died and let science take over and with no more interference with the advancement of knowledge and society.
Give it a few decades, it should become so weak it can barely stand at all. Hopefully....

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Don't worry - the hole left by religion will be taken over by political ideology and all the -ism's you can think of.

Religion may die, but it may take much more time and effort to kill of corruption. A far tougher virus to kill, reason doesn't have any real effect on it as it does with religion.
Ideals, greed, power and other vile things we still have to put up with. Well, one thing at a time. To walk a thousand miles, you must start with the first step. Push aside religion, then move on to the next big challenge for humanity.

I love the way that cretinists will decry evolution because of the (supposed) lack of evidence, yet will wholeheartedly believe in a god that has no supporting evidence at all.

What happened to Statler Waldorf? He should be chiming in on this. He believes all the bullshit being spoonfed to Creationist twits at the moronic Creationist "Museum".
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

I guess Statler Waldorf doesn't like to use her/his left brain.
