Countries with the best standard of living are turning atheist. That shift offers a glimpse into the world's future.
Religious people are annoyed by claims that belief in God will go the way of horse transportation, and for much the same reason, specifically an improved standard of living.
Is the loss of religious belief something fear? Contrary to the claims of religious leaders, Godless countries are highly moral nations with an unusual level of social trust, economic equality, low crime and a high level of civic engagement (5). We could do with some of that.
Given the way religious nutcases are driving the world to war (specifically fundy x-ians in the USA, fundy islamists everywhere, fundy zionists in Israel & the USA) IMO can't happen soon enough!!

I actually think it's correct. When the Moshiach comes He'll abolish all religion, it'll all be about relationship.

Stalin once joked 'how many divisions does the pope have?' today the pope is alive and well while Stalin statues have been torn down all over the former soviet union.
Martin Borman once boasted that the Church in Germany would be reduced to a few senile priests and a handful of old women. it was reported that by the time he died Borman was so enamored of the Catholic church that he pretended to be a priest and held mass on occasion.
hammer away, ye crafty hands; your hammer breaks--God's anvil stands. 'Age of Reason', nazism, communism...all the trendy philosophies fade and die, but the true faith remains.

Very true. Love is the only message of Christianity. Anything short of love and a call for repentance is not from Christ or God.
