I have been living in the southern part of the U.S.A. For the last twenty-four years. I don't see any sign that religion will die soon. I see churches, mosques, and temples are being continually built. There are definitely extremely liberal areas. Maybe number of churchgoers is on the wane in the liberal states, but what about the members of the other religious groups? Majority of the people live in the third world countries. There is no reason to believe that religion will be extinct in these countries. Looks like religion is coming back to communist China and Russia.
Highest form of religion and theism sometimes can be synonymous.

Subject: [mukto-mona] Death of Religion is Near
Death of religion is near, and it is a must. This will happen due to easy access to news and information now-a-days. Priests and Mullahs can't feed controlled illogical religious information anymore. When house of worships lose control of the so-called religious information, faith in those institutions will decay, and conscious people will find illogical religious messages unbelievable. Now, instead of going to the Priests and Mullahs to have answers to their queries, people go to the computers or cell phones.While the death of religions is evident and welcomed, the death of God may not be so. This is because, the belief in a higher-power is ingrained in human nature, and it will remain so even after religions are dead.Also, secularism does not mean disbelief in God. I am not sure why Western Pundits cannot understand this point. Non-belief of religion is not secularism, and non-belief of religion does not automatically translate into disbelief in God, as described in the following article.Jiten Roy ____________________________
