Does religion have a future
oldgregg: Belief in a higher power has been around since the dawn of time. There are as many religious people in the world as ever. Decrease in the west? Yes. Increase in the east? Yes. Faith has survived thousands of years of innovation, so it's a bit of generational arrogance (possibly coming from your particular western enlightenment reddit-reading background ;o) to think that we're finally outgrowing God.Nietzsche declared God dead a hundred years ago and since then religion has been booming in china, africa, south america, et al. Of course, maybe those poor dumb people will be rich and educated like us someday. :-/
