Is no matter rich or poor, educated or not, terrorist or peace ghandi, this religion thing has been from stone age up to egypt then greek and roman then middle ages then now and will be in future! And read history, religious won over atheists and that's why the today's result. Just update the religion with quantum phisics and UFO's (scientology and new age's) and it will work well for the most updated civilization forever in future, at any level of society.

Actually the evidence of religion genetic tendency is darwinian i.e. there is an evolutionary reason for so many people always being religious despite no evidence , illogic or even silly or danger for own careeer. Include in religion also astrology (horoscope signs) and new age stuff of course.

The idea that we are getting less religious now or that we will end up more religious in future is more a political concept than religious really - soviet union it was atheist because Stalin kicked your ass if you was not, but then as soon as the wall fallen people of russian returned all into religions, and I include who think he's a vampire or elf with super powers or does psychedelic yoga trips.

Atheism is not a modern phenomenom, there have been a lot of atheists in stone age, egypt, roman and greece and middle ages up to today and will be in future, simply these early atheists (and there was way more atheists in some ancient cultures than today's major nations!) did not made a following (to follow what!? atheism is not a group who meet to talk about ateism really), and eventually made less kids as someone noted, but not only! In general there was atheists and religious peoples in ancient times and the natural selection i.e. evolution declared winners the religious ones, the list of why can be very long. Religion is a competitive advantage and atheists mostly have extinct, as it is extinct certain other monkeys who not became humans - some probably not because missing intelligence to build homes or tools, but even more scientists but missing a religion who united them in a church to be strongest against all the issues our ancestors had to overcome. Atheist may be relativistic, think at him only, and stuff like that, not wanting to be 1 hour long, but the result of evolution is there.

Our genetics is today religious, the more religious people survived and we are their result and not the one of atheist populations who disappeared. Otherwise, there would not be so many world of warcraft players really, or people who believe in horoscope and astrology. Whoever read horoscope is not atheist, take note. The atheism is NOt natural, the kids believe all in Santa Claus so they're all religious at start, and so atheist can be eventually reached only via Mr.Spock logics, with experience and time (or via bad shocking accidents too, but is rare case) and still one can end up believing in god at any time in future, atheism is an unstable status really.

Atheism may be common in geeks as computers are logic (except the bugs), so religious may be a minority in GFY board specifically, but be atheism is simply a risky handicap in many ways, would an openly atheist guy be elected US president ever? No issue in elect a black guy, eventually a woman, even an islamic US president in future, but no way an atheist, that's the most extreme taboo, even more then sex with animals. Would be like an Xmas without Santa Claus or the day without the sun, would be so sad and odd, would be the end of the world, atheist president is a terror more then the global nuclear war who ends the world.

To stick with GFY topic, note that religious people are the most and best customers for adult sites. I have tracked this well by running cams, more the country is religious and more the sales. I even had some guys write me "I am christian I should not do this bad, please close the account", and they always return and open another account, they are out of control because feel will burn in hell and this make them so excited. An atheist is bored big time by sex as that's just sex and not going to be damned endlessly for it, so not worth pay for it, also remember atheists are way too logic to spend money in porn.
Basically, atheism spread can let the porn sales decline well more then tubes and bit-torrents, and the same would be for lots of economy niches.

So my forecast is that religions, altough very integrated with politics and power (manipulated etc.), will still be believed by a majority of people in the world, whatever religion is, with various updates to cover quantum phisics, UFO's and whatever is cool like iphone's or emo looks (both a religion base as both are quite illogically popular things).

Ah by the way I am atheist, but that's just because I can't believe in religions I know of, whatever I try to believe. Not planned to be an atheist or findng it useful at all, I usually hide such status until asked, and I envoy whoever believes as that's somewhat a superpower I miss. I would never try to convince a religious person that his/her god does not exist as that would most likely damage him and let me feel guilty. Of course I disagree with the whole sin and obscene or immoral concept around sex and porn, but I believe in freedom to the level they are free to think bullshit, and I would be nazi to go tell them why that's bullshit. Of course if they're planning to burn or jail me as sinner, I may need to emigrate elsewhere, but again I can take it as a vacation.
