The invention of the internet and related technologies has had a devastating impact on religion.
Really? The internet is a communication tool and as much as it enables atheists to communicate and be vocal, it is enabling religious people to do the same.
- amichail 16y agoIt's pretty clear that one side is winning convincingly though.
- DanielStraight 16y agoThis viewpoint is necessarily skewed by the communities one joins. If you spend time in atheism-focused or atheist-populated communities, it's only natural you would think atheism is the dominant viewpoint on the web. The converse is also true. In any event, your proposition (that the internet was invented to kill religion) brazenly violates Occam's razor and, without a smoking gun, is very difficult to believe.
- pierrefar 16y agoYes and yes! I have some very religious family members and friends and sometimes when I talk with them, you would think the internet = Jesus and nothing else (perhaps Facebook too). When I talk with other friends and the communities I frequent, it's atheism or you're a psycho.

- getonit 16y ago> it is enabling religious people to do the same The irony is lost, apparently.
