When I mentioned educated... I meant an extension of my previous comment, meaning the education of the western world. Obviously the only areas in the world where religion is on the increase is places like Africa and South America et al. Extremely poor, uneducated people who reach for anything to keep a positive outlook. Christians do a fabulous job preying on these people and the position they are in. Heck if they didnt Christianity would be nearing extinction.
Maybe you could let us know what good religion does that could not, or would not, be done by those outside the covers of institutionalized fantasy?
