The kids are getting smarter


The news from a small UK survey is heartening: teenagers are abandoning or never had much belief in religion. Two thirds don’t believe in gods at all, and

It also emerged six out of ten 10 children (59 per cent) believe that religion “has a negative influence on the world”.
 

The survey also shows that half of teenagers have never prayed and 16 per cent have never been to church.

I came to the enlightenment late, so I’ve been in church. Really, they aren’t missing a single thing. Not one thing. Funny, isn’t it; the religious insist that we need the fellowship and ritual and sermonizing, but it’s all the most dreary crap and superficial ‘community’. We won’t miss it when it is all gone.
