Why? Ever hear of L. Ron Hubbard? Shoko Asahara? Barack Obama? People are more gullible than you seem to think. Religion will always be around because humans are as irrational as they are rational, and faith makes us happy. If you stomped out every religion, new ones would only arise to replace them. People will always find new receptacles for their faith, be it some new god, or the state, or "Science", or whatever. |
Well, most western countries are becoming less religious as we speak. Those lost believers are not being replaced.
