Question

...and, statistically, are less religious than the rest of the population. What does that mean?

Answer 1

it means that the more you are encouraged to question the world, the more you question the beliefs which you might have inhereted from the past and previous generations. it just means that they are more likely to be critical thinkers.

it does not however imply that smart people are not religious as you tend to be pointing to...

Answer 3

Apparently that is changing--and your scenario has only been since the 1960's. The "diversity of ideas" is becoming less so due to political correctness trumpeting diversity in many cases; groups lobbying to get other groups off campus. Freedom of speech isn't the goal--my speech or no speech is the new goal.

"The number of students involved with Campus Crusade for Christ rose 163 percent over the past 20 years at Brown University. At Harvard, participation has grown more than 500 percent and 700 percent at Yale. "The amount of Christian groups has totally proliferated," said Nicole Leonard, a 1988 Dartmouth graduate, according to CBN. "There were only a couple to choose from when I was a student, and now there's four to six evangelical groups … it's just grown so much, that you can't deny our presence, and it's really been a positive presence."

Originally, if a person is a bible reader, he knew that the laws were already taught in the Garden of Eden. The laws were already taught after Adam and Eve were created. It was verbally taught because how would they know if they violate something if they don't know the verbal laws of Yahweh.

It's good thing that a person values human rights, freedom from sins and other things in accordance to Yahweh's will. Our job is to have a choice to follow his will and not our own in order to be protected and saved then share this to other lost people. Sometimes people became boastful for becoming successful and smart. They forgot that Yahweh has chosen them and destined and blessed to have that kind of ability in order to help people who doesn't have that kind of level. It must be their ways of serving Yahweh...by serving the oppressed.

The question of why are they less religious is not a good question. I get out of religion but i believe in Yahweh and following his laws, that's why i don't judge others who are lost. I have my own relatioship with Yahweh - a covenant for we will stand before him through his son Yahushua on the judgment day. If you mean people are becoming bad and egoistic instead of following the will of Yahweh - his laws, well, it's a reminder and a threat that time is near that people will kill each other for practicing their own will and beliefs instead of following the will of Yahweh our creator. REPENT!!!!

Answer 5

Are you including in your the statement the populations of officially atheistic countries, where the free practice of religion is suppressed, such as in China, North Korea, Vietnam, and Cuba?

Or does your statement include primarily the countries in the West, where we have freedom to practice freely our religion, as well as other human rights, freedoms, and diversity?

. . .because, after all, that could make a difference . . .

Answer 6

What you state is simplistic and a bit colored by a liberal bias.

What reason would one have for assuming that the "ideas" of another are superior to ones own? The Liberal-Type Personality Syndrome operates actively in many young people who have not overcome the deeply repressed and fully non-conscious fears that drive a person to seek understanding from "outside" oneself.... as opposed to going "within" oneself for such answers.

There are two basic ways of gaining understanding. One is via the Left-Hemisphere of ones brain and thinking. This is the choice made by those within whom the greatest collection of repressed fear exists.... because when using ones L-H for collecting data one avoids personal "experiential" awareness of what one is taking in.

One avoids interacting with ones own MIND realm, in other words.

The second means of understanding is via ones "intuition". This is the superior means of understanding because such understanding is one of Knowledge [that is touching Truth] as opposed to the knowledge one gains via thinking and ones L-H.

Most intellectuals, which means scientists, philosophers, and teachers, are Left-Hemisphere oriented individuals... or those within whom a more intense fear of the "Unknown" is repressed by their MINDs. These individuals "unknowingly" avoid using the Right-Hemisphere [which is where one taps ones intuition] because the R-H of the brain is the doorway to ones MIND realm, and the fear therein is so frightening to such people that their MINDs keep their Atten Aspect of Apapsyche (consciousness) fixed in the L-H and in thinking about rather than actually experiencing phenomena from within themselves.

What "intuition" does is to validate external phenomena by checking out what one has experientially stored within ones Apapsyche as Truth with what one is experiencing outside of oneself. The Truth of something is "awakened" from within oneself and it becomes a certainty.... as opposed to what one "thinks" might be true.

I use the symbol "Apapsyche" to refer to the Operational Energy of ones Soul. A phenomenon discovered over a thirty year career as a psychotherapist and Esogist [one who studies and works within the Esoteric realms within the Whole Human Being].

The amazing thing is that the ban is on an architechural feature. People are acting like the Swiss banned mosques instead of just the minnarets.
