"Exactly, this is my point, He seems to be saying that a lot of people were predicting world peace when I don't think that's the case at all."


Of course your a man with common sense, only fools believe in such logic.

As there are idiotic religious people there are a few rather delusional people I know my self who think all of the worlds problems are due to Religion.

Its that this study does not really mean anything about how great or how terrible of a society Britain is.

Does not matter if you believe in God or Not, we will continue to make stupid choices and are making stupid choices and will make stupid choices for some time. Stupidity is not derived from our belief in a higher power lol !

Being irreligious does not automatically make you immune from stupidity. If being more irreligious= being smarter, Europe would not be in so much trouble.
I am not suggesting Europe should look to God to fix its problems either lol.

Point being a poll showing a society becoming irreligious is not really anything to celebrate. What is more useful is polls suggesting people are fed up with politics, corruption and are more willing to engage in society.

I hope you get my point that this issue is nowhere near as simplistic as some of us make it think.
