There is hope for societyAuthor and noted biopsychologist Nigel Barber has completed a new study that shows Atheism is most prevalent in developed countries, and, according to his projections, religion will completely disappear by 2041. His findings are discussed in his new book “Why Atheism Will Replace Religion.” A new study that clarifies his earlier research will be published in August. His findings focus on studying trends within countries around the world and the fact that “Atheists are heavily concentrated in economically developed countries”-
In my new study of 137 countries (1), I also found that atheism increases for countries with a well-developed welfare state (as indexed by high taxation rates). Moreover, countries with a more equal distribution of income had more atheists. My study improved on earlier research by taking account of whether a country is mostly Moslem (where atheism is criminalized) or formerly Communist (where religion was suppressed) and accounted for three-quarters of country differences in atheism.
His main thesis stems from the phenomenon of religion declining as personal wealth increases. He cites the reason as people having less of a need for supernatural beliefs when the tangible, natural world is providing for their needs. He says the majority of the world will come to view religion as completely irrelevant by 2041.
I wonder what will ultimately happen to the $600 billion worth of churches, temples etc. which never pay a penny of tax to the U S government. Why should any of my money go to support something which I literally despise?
Unless you donate to a church, your money isn't going to support something you despise. The government does not support churches. There is this thing called separation between church and state.
There is only the illusion of a separation between church and state.
By giving churches of any sort tax free status and by not prosecuting what amounts to physical emotional and psychological abuse of children, crimes legally protected under the guise of freedom of religious expression, the state is intimately involved in supporting 'the Church' probably because religion in general churns out confused and traumatized automatons by the millions that are easily subjugated and further victimized by the state.

According to the American Psychological Association (APA), a strong and passionate belief in a deity or higher power, to the point where it impairs one’s ability to make conscientious decisions about common sense matters, will now be classified as a mental illness.

I'm 82 years old. I've been paying taxes to the government since 1950. Being retired didn't change anything. We pay about 14% on income of just under $80,000.

The point is you're not entitled to the money. It was never YOUR money, it's not the government's money and you have no right to any of it. Start taxing churches and see how many people that depend on those churches to meet their needs suffer....we're feeding and clothing nearly 125 a week just in our Outreach alone. This is a leftists such as yourself problem....you never think through on your grand schemes. You want to tax, tax, tax and it's not the answer
Religious institutions own $600 billion in property, none of which is taxed.
22 percent of Americans have no religious affiliation. Among young people, the number is even higher; 35 percent of millennials do not identify with a religion.
"Almost a quarter of us are being forced to subsidize a myth that we're not buying into. Why am I subsidizing their Sunday morning hobby? the taxpayer has to make up for this lost revenue
Now’s the Time To End Tax Exemptions for Religious Institutions
Defenders of tax exemptions and deductions argue that if we got rid of them charitable giving would drop. It surely would, although how much, we can’t say. But of course government revenue would go up, and that money could be used to, say, house the homeless and feed the hungry. We’d have fewer church soup kitchens — but countries that truly care about poverty don’t rely on churches to run soup kitchens.

In my opinion, the number one thing atheists just don't get is that religion is based, not on poverty, not on fear of death, etc., but on the fact that people of every culture, and down through the ages, have religious/spiritual experiences of God. They see how faith, and following the teachings of God makes a huge difference in their lives and how they live life. The Word of God proves true.

Did you read the entire article? It said the Church is growing in the South and the West.
Guno, this is what I don't understand. If you are Jewish, and Jews don't want converts into their religion, then what is it you do want?
The newest church must be the biggest lie. Where are those golden plates? What did Joseph Smith do with them?
