the beginning of end of religion

...is being triggered by/on the Internet.

The wealth of information on the Net is creating a new generation of non-believers. Traditionally the lack of information and general knowledge has been an essential ingredient for getting people into believing.

It is still going to take a few decades for the real beginning, since those born with a religion have a hard time wrapping their heads around reasoning with metaphysics. Even really brilliant people can't outsmart prejudices. Their children will pick up the slacks.

my observation on different types of believers:
1) the gullible/sheeple
2) the preconditioned
3) the manipulative
4) the lazy
5) the bitter
6) the dimwitted
7) the weak kneed
8) the happy-go-lucky
9) the voice-in-head crazy
10) the genius

That is not to say religious people are insane. Half of them are charming and intelligent, which only adds to the problem. As long as there are humans, there will be religion, but this is the beginning of end.
