Well…in a pretty cool coincidence…at least to me…a new poll that came out in the past week or so shows that the trend away from religion in this county appears to be accelerating, with the number of people identifying as “Christian” dropping almost 8 percent in the past 5 years while those of us who have no religion has grown by the same 8%. At this rate, in only two generations, the majority of this country will be without the scourge of religion…okay, that may be a little harsh but the way that religion is used in this country and across the world, as a sword to attack anyone who is different, I’m not sure if scourge is not a good description. One of the things that I think is driving this change here in the US is the constant whining and constant attempts of the “Christians” here in the US to jam their religion into all aspects of US life but also people are beginning to realize that “Christianity” here is all about hate and control….hating gays because of”Christians”  willful misinterpretation of the bible…trying to force their religious views on women’s rights into the law that takes away women’s ability to control their own bodies while they try to ensure that gays don’t have the rights they deserve as US citizens. This hate is turning off the younger generations that religion needs to be viable over time and I, for one, think that is a good thing…as religion dies, this will ensure a return to rationality in governance…not faith, whose only place in the US should be in church…not in government…
