Ah, I look forward to the day when all religion is an ancient relic of a bygone era. I doubt I'll see it, but I hope my kids do. http://commonsenseatheism.com/

Sad thing is, it isn't too far from the truth.
- ars 14y agoPeople have been predicting (and attempting to cause) the demise of religion for thousands of years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellenistic_philosophy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellenistic_philosophy And that graph is ridiculous. Europe may have stagnated, but Arab counties were rising - which was the cause of the European stagnations - they were being attacked. It had nothing to do with religion.
- fingerprinter 14y agoI wasn't predicting, more stating my affinity for the day when religion is gone. Religion had its time and place, but it is no longer needed and we can shed religion and move on as a species. Frankly, at this point, religion is doing nothing but holding us back. I can't think of a single element of religion that is actively advancing any area.
