5. Yes, organized religions such as yours are hemorrhaging numbers.

Some take up non-traditional spiritual practices. Some are non-believers. That's the great thing though - THEY are choosing, they're not following your rigid dogma.

That's what scares the mainstream religions such as yours, g. And it's why you are so upset whenever anyone posts anything about the decline of religion, and why you invariably try and save face by reaching for an article like this to say "SEE? THEY'RE STILL RELIGIOUS IN A WAY!!!"

Yes, some are. No one has ever disputed that, of course you'd prefer if they had because then your straw man would be valid.

But you keep whistling past that graveyard, g. Don't you worry one bit.
