Recent reports using census data from nine countries suggest that religion may disappear from those countries. The data showed a steady rise in those claiming no religious affiliation. The countries are Australia, Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Switzerland.
I find this welcome news. And hopeful. Without something as divisive as faith based religions that contradict and exclude each other, we'll have fewer reasons to kill each other over what happens in some hypothetical afterlife.
