Unfortunately yes. It seems sometimes for every new believer, 1 gets lost :( I pray that people wake up before it is too late for them.

Yes I think that has been the trend for the past 200 years. Darwinism and Newtonian physics has lead the world as a whole away from the belief in an all powerful creator. Newtonian physics gave us an image of the universe as a giant clockwork set in to motion eons ago leaving no room for God and his meddling ways. Darwinism took the need for a creator out of the clockwork. However, I'm excited to see the fall of both of these misguided philosophies. Macro evolution has never been proved despite 200 years of research and Newtonian physics is giving way to the new Quantum theory which promises to take some if not all certainty out of that clockwork theory of the universe. I think we're approaching the point where science more vindicates God's existence rather than disproves it. It's exciting to know even though so much faith has been put in science, God's truth shines through.

No, I think we're living in an age that the rate of which science and technology increases gives the appearance that it is over powering religion. There will always be those who believe and those who oppose religion, but for one to lead to another's extinction, I don't see as practical. There is so much in our universe that we don't understand even if God is the sole creator of this, that growth will continue in both areas. It also shows how little most of our society truely understands when it comes to the meaning of science.
Science isn't supposed to prove the existance of events tangible or not. It can suggest reasons for an event through observations, but pure proof just isn't practical. Why? Science uses the scientific method, which a hypothesis is based on reproducable observations in a controlled environment. The key words are reproducable and controlled. Meaning that they are only as accurate as the controlled variables accounted for and its consistency for results. Likewise I cannot prove that an electron has a specific mass or the movement of electrons creates electricity. However, repeated observations in a controlled environment over and over suggest this idea and therefore we assume it is true.
From this I have come to the conclusion that science takes a leap of faith as well as religion. Like Einstein once said:
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."

Atheist tyranny? Excuse me, yet did not you in ordinary words state that in ordinary words 10% of the inhabitants became atheist? did you realize that seventy 5% of the united states is Christian? Do you've the slightest concept what would ensue if an atheist tried to run for President? There will be an uproar! in very truth, Christians have way too a lot power, not way too little. I see no evidence that any god exists, be it Jesus, Mohommed, Buddha, the Flying Spaghetti Monster... and yet, only for that conception, i'd not be allowed to run for President of the united states, a united states of america that became international-heralded for its attractiveness of 1000's of diverse cultures and ideology. Wasn't religious freedom the construction blocks of our united states of america's power? when you're so freaked out about the actual undeniable truth that atheists are growing in numbers, per chance this is because we are. and per chance, purely per chance, this is not the type of undesirable element. religious Conflicts are the reason behind 70% of the international's wars. imagine about what would ensue if lets all purely stay with one yet another. i'm not affirming I hate all faith. I purely choose that faith will be a loose prepare, not a contest. can not we purely settle for that diverse human beings have diverse beliefs? can not we purely settle for that typically religions replace, that the quantity of believers can decline? the international is replacing, and with those type of questions printed on line, all you're doing is slowing it down. There is surely not any divine intervention. you could as well purely settle for it, and once you're at it, settle for us.

I'd like to think so, but the fact is that as long as we have a deeply religious administration with strong ties to the religious right we're not going to be seeing the end of overenthusiastic fundies trying to make us march in lock-step with them.
Religion is in no danger of dying or being forgotten. Many conservative Christians like to think so...it plays into their martyr fetish...but unless something cataclysmic were to happen to all believers at once, religion will still be with us for a very long time.

we are not exactly living in a Godless age. many people cannot accept the concept of GOD as our creator they are more apt to believe the temptations to evil spirit who ;wanted to them in the dark side of the world. they shjould be indoctrinated with the teachings of GOD and the law of GOD so that they should believe the existence of GOD who created everything living in this world. people sholuld be taught on the on the b ible which is the source of baelieving GOD, THE REATUURE OF EVERYTHING

What ever a person puts most of their effort into is their god.
But most people now do not believe in God (or gods), and some of those that believe, do not believe that He is much greater in power, knowledge, etc , than man.

Do we all have to be sheep? Who said everyone had to believe in creationism? Some people are just more scientific than others. Heaven forbid that people think for themselves and form opinions that don't conform with the churches.
