I would think that question would be better answered by theists...what positives can you see for religion as an insider? Outside of the USA, and mostly the southern USA, the western world is turning their back on organized religion in huge waves...do you think that the tide can be turned? How and Why?
With the average person getting advanced education how can the church forcefeed fantasy as opposed to reality?

I think our world view may be slightly different. I don't see the average person in the world getting advanced education. I see mostly poor uneducated masses that need religion to make their life meaningful, and to make society a little more stable.
I feel atheists tend to justify their stand by focusing on the negatives and ignoring any good that religion has to offer.
