For me its to get away from religion.

  You think nobody will bring their faith with them?

    Precisely. Religions are in decline among the younger generations. By the time we go to Mars as a colonizing species, hopefully we won't bring "faith to a deity" with us.

      There's plenty of other damaging ideologies to take their place. Look at the extremist 1% on either side of the left/right political divide for examples. Religion isn't a cause of negative ideological/extremism, it's a symptom of cognitive tendencies that give rise to it.

      Probably not going to go the way you're pulling for. In case you haven't been paying attention, there's a lot of new age mysticism floating around that seems to take root in: - hallucinogens (aka: entheogens) - multidimensional realities - interdimensional beings - time travel - psychic powers, like ESP - out of body experiences - paranormal reincarnation - extra terrestrial meddling in the origin of life on earth - CoSM artwork by Alex Grey

      In decline among young people who are not having replacement levels of offspring. Social science has taught us religion imparts survival benefits (as does ‘politics’)
