A study using census data from nine countries shows that religion there is set for extinction, say researchers.

Suggestive, but not definitive.

Well we gave up on the "earth is flat" thing too, eventually. Give it time and it'll come to an end.

That explains everything, though I'm not very religious.



That aside, well it would be quite a long time before religion comes to a close, even then, probably only a couple of nations would be so.

I doubt anyone here is a true Catholic (I mean as in denying homo marriage or whatever)

I'd take these statistics with a grain a salt. Religion is still a big part of this world, and I highly doubt it going "extinct" as their research suggests. Census data, like alot of other statistics, can't really be relied on all that much, especially when considering something so emotional as faith. I just don't think you can ever get a good read on a population's feelings by just handing out a survey that only half the people complete, if even that.

Given that my country is predicted to become irreligious, it is interesting they failed to notice that ultraorthodox are growing faster than all other groups due high fertility rates and low defection rates.
