Na, religion is a relic left behind from a time when it was used to control people with fear (E.G. Rome used Christianity to regain control ove the people, it was going under before they used the religion). Ofcourse back then people weren't well educated and the simplistic explanations in the bible were good enough for them.

As is said, the more educated a people, the harder they are to control... This I think is becoming truer in Britain and this is why people are becoming less dependant on the Church and a "Greater being". People are more willing to think things through and come up with their own conclusions, and understand other people's. Thus meaning that simplaistic answers arn't enough, so simple they are obviously flawed.

Most people who still do do religion normally drop these simple explanations and idea's, lose anything off of the bible that is obviously wrong and basically follow the core idea's that cant be disproved. The things that take faith alone. This is where you get the split, those that are faithful, blindly I suppose, and those that think "If that bits wrong... who's to say the rest isn't"? I think there are more people now in the latter, as shown in the poll.

I guess ultimatly education is what has undermined religion and the God theory.


Hope that write up didn't offend anyone, it wasnt intended to, it is just how it appears to be.
