If this change is comIng, it's coming very slowly. You have to remember that educated people live in a bubble. That number is reversed for scientists; something like 97% are atheist or agnostic. <br /><br />There's also the cultural aspect. Most Christians I know arent religious but rather just Politically correct. Most people would ask what else is there? Without god how can you have morals, etc? The answer is obvious to us but not so to them. I think humanism or zen Buddhism have a stronger chance of tipping than atheism because they have a stronger message and a sort of culture behind them.Ben simahttp://skepticalempiricism.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1458166553535188125.post-53657969636819385962011-11-12T15:44:01.689-05:002011-11-12T15:44:01.689-05:00Hmm.

An overtly atheist president for the United States of America. . .? *Whistles.* Seems like a bit of a stretch since we have plenty of believers, non-believers, thumpers, and other assorted [insert belief concept here] types who take exception to subsidies.<br /><br />At the end of the day, culture seems to prevail over any personal belief. It's just that in the case of certain countries, certain religious beliefs are the very foundation of their culture.Kade Stormnoreply@blogger.com
