      @ivanafterall The Founders believed that, too, and they were wrong about it. It turns out, religion is an instinct most people have, and they will be religious if they are not inoculated against it by a level of reason that frankly most people just don’t have, and never will. Talk to ordinary people, and you’ll see that most people have the forensics of children. That against human instinct is all but hopeless.

      Religion will decline, and we will reach some equilibrium, but it’s not going away.
