Oh no, not another religious thread. But I know how you eat them up, Flood. Not only is the internet a factor in the religious decline, but also education is too. I found that really interesting.
Discuss how we're all wrong.

I think it comes back to education. Education is the acquisition of knowledge. You can do that formally in school or informally online. Either way you get it. I forget who said it, but God lives in the shadows. To me this means that things we don't understand we attribute to God. Where two hundred years ago it was thought that God himself created each species and controlled the lives of men, he has been reduced to the entity that flashed the Big Bang and is a silent guider of evolution. As we bring more into the light, there is less and less to attribute to divine intervention.
