Sorry - came over as a tad confrontational. An agnostic is not an atheist, but can still have no religion; headline seems a bit clickbaity to me.

Interesting stuff thought, and no surprise at all. Religion is part of the establishment and has lost it's moral authority in a morass of directionless bickering whilst the modern world moves on in the wider world. Here new moralities are being forged and the old intolerances and hypocrisies of the priests, rabbis and imams look like the relics of a time long gone.

We're better off without them. Secularism allows people otherwise eschewed by the major religions to return to the society they belong in. Religion is rejected along with modern politics because it is an anachronism, corrupt and rotten to the core. That's not to say everyone involved is rotten, far from it as these people work selflessly for others, often in very difficult and dangerous circumstances. Also on a local level religion provide a focus for community that is massively important.

However, the established religions and their proclamations, bulls and fatwas are hopefully being consigned to the dustbin of history where they belong.
