[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an atheist, [b]I prefer [/b]if the main driver is logic that drives it down for all religions, and not just ones with whom I disagree politically or who I feel have committed civic transgressions.  This means no specific hatred for any one religion.

[b]I like to think[/b] the main reason is that people are learning more and choosing to not believe in things - religious or otherwise - for which there is insufficient evidence.[/quote]

Seems far-fetched to believe that people are no longer believing in things for which there is insufficient evidence. What is your evidence for this claim? Seems like belief in things like conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, and fake news is at an all time high, although I haven’t seen any research. That doesn’t even consider the recent trend of people’s belief systems shifting from religion-oriented to politically-oriented.[/quote]

I didn't say I believed it was because of that, I said I preferred that reason to for political and social reasons.

I agree there is a lot of unbelievable stuff being believed out there.  Religion is only one of those things.  But fortunately, every single data point shows Americans are moving away from it rapidly.  For that there is much evidence.[/quote]
