Something else I read there, I found it pretty interesting:

quote:
Christianity has been largely abandoned in Britain and the rest of Europe. It has partly faded in Canada, where only 10% of adults attend church regularly. In about the year 1990, it started to fail in the U.S. The percentage of American adults who identify themselves as Christians is dropping by about 10 percentage points per decade. If these trends hold, then sometime during the 2020's, Christianity will become a minority religion in the U.S. North America is rapidly becoming more religiously diverse. But there may not be a strong enough foundation of religious tolerance to support this future diversity without massive conflict.

The logic of that quote is fucked-up. If no one cares about religion, then religious diversity shouldn't be a problem.

Where did it say no one cares about religion?
Christianity isn't the only religion, you do know?

if I remember right christianty was supposed to have died out already.
Plus just because people in Britain don't claim to be christians doesn't mean the way they think and the laws they follow/create don't hold inherently christian ideals.

at the moment I believe too much of our world is built on religious ideas for them to die out without a complete upheavel... what I mean is christianity isn't just gonna die out from boredom.

The parents may still be basically Christian, but, without a doubt, a large majority of the children won't be.

I don't think it will die from boredom, but it might grow old with neglect.
