ummm... I would say that our culture is finally educating our students well enough to understand that they have to think for themselves. Unfortunately this also has the undesired effect of inspiring apathy and instilling a sick sense of entitlement, but at least it keeps them away from being brainwashed completely by people who want to control them through the idea of a finger-wagging god.

Because God has been banned from so many places! We are bombarded daily by "proof" that their is no God. Man is causing global warming, you can stop survival of the fittest, there is even a "big bang" machine now. This is what kids and adults are being force fed. Everybody forgets that God made the earth and has a plan for it. That if the Arizona flying bat horse is endangered it's because they haven't been able to adapt to their environment. AND that God created the heavens and the earth.

It's partly because some people are starting to ask questions and not just accept things blindly. Or in other words, they see how insane religion is. It's also partly because a lot of people just don't care.

Lack of faith in various regards. Segmenting of individual religions, i.e.the tons of branches of Christianity. People becoming tired of arguing over religion. Viewing it as something that keeps us separate as opposed to bring us all closer together. Shall I continue?

Because science is finally becoming cool. Coupled with people seeing mainly the bad effects of religion rather than the good effects, which you don't really need religion for anyway.

Organized religion is fading out a bit in Europe, but is stronger than ever in North and South America.

i think religion isn't exactly fading out--i think it's face is changing. to materialism, science, consumerism... or at least that's the negative aspect that comes to mind. (since i'm in a lousy mood at the moment) still, i think there's something to that bit.

I believe science is the new religion.

Education is the antidote to religion. Unfortunately it's far from dying out in the western world. But
