I have established that some religions are doing their job and some are not. A consumer satisfaction poll of the practitioners and former members would be very revealing.

Technology can do many of the things that used to be the sole domain of religion. If tech can do it better, it is religion's responsibility to do it better, cheaper and faster. How could religion advance?
They could abolish their old non compete clauses, they could down play their insistence upon old time religion. They could market their wares better by advertising that they are extremely valuable at times of catastrophic destruction of government, resources and order. They would attract a lot more wannabe preppers.

Any thing religion can do tech is beginning to do better.

Tech can even provide Personal epiphany via drugs, electrical brain stimulation of the parietal lobe, sensory deprivation, amygdala manipulation and real time self guided tours of the brain.

Stop me now because I can keep going.

We can and should rate religion on a exploitation-humanitarian scale
Religion has dropped the ball.
Religion will NOT save us from the next asteroid impact
Once the singularity arrives we will finally meet GOD.
