Just blew right by that physicist-minister didn't you?
Another 'humanist' twisting reality to fit his pet theories. Open a history book. The Renaissance was followed by a resurgence in religious belief, known as the protestant reformation.
resurgence in religion led to freedom foundations of the US and UK -since mans right were God, not King given, the king could not impede them (please see John Locke).
Those 'more religious' countries actually soared past the less religious catholic ones - intellectually, scientifically (the scientific method has its roots in Christianity, Kepler and newton, for example were seeking god's order ) - in which the church had been corrupted.
Oh, i do have two examples of enlightened rational beings rejecting religion 1789 France (known as the Reign of Terror) and the various Communists regimes that left 120 + million people dead.
I called you a sophomore because, well, look up the meaning. You make , sweeping statements - and baseless assertions about religion going the way of the dodo bird....
under the guise of being rational , but it's really just a thin veneer for your own irrational hatred and excuse to feel 'superior' to those ignorant 'religious peoplel' sounds like you just picked up Richard Dawkins latest 'masterpiece' .
as for it "fu¢king" mattering, yes it does, if you're a product of any US school system, - for example 'kids' graduating today have had 10+ years of diversity /sensitivity indoctrination, which makes them very different fish, on average than those who went to school pre-PC.
and yes you are making sweeping judgments, where my statement was a reflection in sweeping changes in the US educational system with the asendence of the sixties (hippie/baby boomer generation) into positions of power, particularly in educational fields - which has directly effected education.
