In America, where even Protestant groups have lost 5.4 million members over the last decade, evangelicals have enjoyed a growth rate of 40 percent. They have become the largest religious force in the United States, with 26 percent of all believers...

This is wonderful news considering the disasterous consequences of facism and communism which had their roots in atheistic humanism.


Rip, you don't even read these replies which makes them rather useless, but let's be serious here. Relgion has caused as many problems as atheism and just because atheism is prevalent in the 20th / 21st century, when weapons are more destructive, let's not forget the rape and pillaging that happened in the name of your god.

Millions have died in the name of their god or your god over the last 3,000 years of human history. More dictators have claimed their right to rule because they are "God's messenger" than anything else. If you seriously believe that religiosity is going to save the world I encourage you to read some more and realize that although religion can do wonders in people's lives, it has also sparked much controversey and destruction.

One last thing Rip.

I don't know about anyone else here, but I do read what you link and what you write. I like to challenge my own beliefs. I also try to treat your opinions with respect, and often I respectfully disagree. I only ask that you take time out of your day to read what took time out of my day to write. I promise I will try to never personally attack you, but I want a dialogue, for it is the best way to communicate.

Thanks,

Beau
