Your right that there are a lot of athiests, but like I had said before, it is human nature to question where we came from, where we are going, how we were created and so on an so forth...however, humans feel a need to believe in things... if it is fact or fiction, it will take a lot to persuade the masses, religion might fade eventually, but not in my life time... like I said, there are too many people who believe too strongly in their different faiths... again people are stubborn... and once something has been drilled into thier minds for so long, it is hard for them to grasp a concept of anything else... some people would refuse to believe it, because they do not have the mental capacity to understand anything else... this would mean that we as humans would have to develope further mentally and I don't see that happening right now... maybe in Europe there are more athiests, but around the entire world, such as in Muslim, Buddhist, and Christian areas, I don't see any leaders standing forward and saying that they were wrong and scientists are right... it will take a lot to change the minds of billions who believe... and it will take a lot of time to change the minds of those billions... hey, one day we might see the change.. but I don't think I will live long enough to see it.... I really don't think it will happen in the next 50 to 60 years... but it could... who knows... none of us can really tell the future.. we can only make predictions... and maybe they will come true and maybe they wont.. I'm putting what I believe in aside from this debate... because I try to look at things from all angles... as I said before, I don't think religion will completely fade away.... there will always be those rebels, or people who live out of the reaches of technology that will always believe....

PEACE!
