Then it will be Christians and Muslims and a few odds and ends. The anti-religionists will be a fading memory that will garner a laugh or two around the fire as the elders pass on tradition to their offspring... tradition that has helped ensure human survival and which has been the only impetus for 'progress' that mankind has ever known.
And let's be honest: the sooner we get back to real human existence, the better.

funny, i share your vision, but i'm not sure that we are going to that place around a campfire. I used to think so...i even work with people seeking that end, but honestly i have come to see it as teaching people how to rely on themselves rather than God, in a sense anyway.
As for not understanding history or society, i think the argument might be made that these are observations of the seen, and religion is right in there with them. We even have cliches that reflect dichotomy in them; "history is written by the victors," and who needs a cliche to connect society with the world?
But we have different definitions of religion; i have made mine plain, but i do not know what yours is?
