Yes. I agree with this. I suppose we're arguing over the extent. I firmly believe that if we're to survive and prosper as a species organized religion (in the developed world at least) will become a fringe element. And I want to believe that this will happen. However I am no psychic and cannot say with 100% accuracy that this will happen.


I suppose what you're saying is that religion will simply become less powerful. It will however still be acceptable to belong to an organized religion.

() yes, that's what I meant
() no, that's not what I meant

I'm not trying to argue with you here. I just want to understand how your point is different than mine.
