Is Religion slowly dying?

[Astargath]

Religion feeds ignorance and hate. It was created to control the masses but as a race we are past the need for that. Until religion is eradicated humanities growth will remain stunted.

I don't think gods and the supernatural were created with the intention of controlling the masses. I simply think they didn't know better so they had to make up some explanation, then slowly religions were formed and eventually smart people took advantage of it. Religions right now are indeed one of the biggest problems when it comes to science investigation, look at abortion or homosexuality.

California's Prop 8 in 2008 was one of the most expensive state ballot initiatives ever. In total, $83.1M was spent. All of this money was spent on trying to ban gay marriage in California, even though the previous ban (Prop 22 from 2000) had just been struck down as unconstitutional by the California Supreme Court.

Look at who currently fights against breakthrough technologies like stem cell research, and established science like evolution and the Big Bang- Religion.

Religion is creating divisions who says they are withering away? still there are silly people who obeys foul religion laws

[LienTHETRADER]

Religion is getting toxified more and more due to foul actions of different fraud people and so believe from the god is slowly moving away.

[LovellaSai]

Like everything religion should remain as it is because it helps one to remain within his limits.

[SergeYak]

More and more people who like science making religion suffer all the time and i like it to be honest.

Religion is not dying. Why not? Science is showing us that there is so much more to the universe than scientists of the past though, that we are beginning to realize that science will never give us the best understanding. The best understanding comes through revelation from God. Science is finding this out.

Religion is pretty much dead now.

Only the poorest least educated countries still have the masses that believe.

Here in North America our churches are closing faster than they open.  Example:  Edmonton shut down seven churches last year, and opened one.

Religion in developed countries is declining - but why is it dying out so fast? Serch on google to find out why 9 countries will soon be comprised entirely of non-believers, and why the rest of the world will soon follow their lead.

[earceny]

I don’t think it’s so much that religion is dying, but rather that science is progressing. A lot of religion and ancient mythology was created to explain why things happened. Now, though, we have science to explain most of those concepts.

You will only prove to destroy yourself when you maintain a religion like that for yourself.

Certainly not, otherwise it continues to get stronger

Islam strength lies in fear, not peace - http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/quran/023-violence.htm.

Every religion, including Islam, has no solid foundation... except for Christianity. The solid foundation lies in:
1. The tradition of how the Bible came to be written;
2. The strength of the nation that wrote the Bible, and about which the Bible was written;
3. The information in the Bible, which matches the human race better than any other, including science;
4. The prophecies which have been fulfilled and are being fulfilled;
5. The spiritual strength from outside of yourself that comes to you when you start to accept the Bible;
6. The fact that the Bible could not have been written without Divine guidance;
7. The fact of the multitudes of hand-copied Old Testament (and New) that exist way beyond any other religious writings... because they were important and real to the people who copied and believed them.

Muslim hell is only in this life, for a short time, and lived by those who practice Islam the way it is written in the Koran, rather than the way it is expressed by the Islamic clerics.

The real Hell is where you will be going if you don't convert to Christianity. Why will you be going there? If you don't become a real and true Christian, God doesn't have any use for you. Your Hell will be your dissolution, so that God gets His energy back from you that He placed into you to make you alive. Only fair, right?

1. Pointless
2. Same to other religions
3. Muslims claim the same thing
4. Muslims claim their book fulfilled plenty of prophecies too
5. Same
6. Same for the other books
7. The fact that there is literally 0 evidence for God, other things in the bible like all the creatures, demons or miracles, the fact that prayer does not work or the fact that the bible is a pile of shit, immoral, contradictory.

Even if all your ''facts'' were true (they arent) how do you know there isn't a religion out there with better points? Like more prophecies fulfilled or more hand-copied writings? Would that make the other religion more true? You see why those things do not show if something is true or not, right?

[Nrcewker]

actually religions can't die but now days media giving false information about religions also there is only few scholars who can guide you best and provide you good information other have incomplete information .

Religion is slabs which tell you how to live your life. you should follow it and stay happy in your life . some religions are written by humans and some are sent from creator of this universe.

God is always best in creating or explaining anything some peoples don't trust on GOD but still they are unable to give some answers about things which science discovering now with high tech and GOD told it thousands of years ago via books.

[SadEmo]

Religion isn't dying because it's already dead at my opinion science is killed religion many years ago...

[jersti]

I don’t believe that religion itself is slowly dying. Rather, it’s being slowly replaced by scientific advances. There is nothing wrong with being a person of faith, but there are certainly good reasons why it isn’t as common now as it may have been a few centuries ago.

[shawncole]

It may be true but what I've seen in actual is a shift of belief. There are more Christian believers today than before.

[melliana]

Religion will not die, even they will growing bigger all the time and it will be getting complex because so many thoughts and peoples definition
