Funny... right when Aetheism started to 'catch on' science started to 'catch on' as well. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that decreasing religiosity is a result of increased knowledge of this world, space, and time. God doesn't cause apples to fall from trees, now that we know that, its a different 'reality' than what used to exist. Gravity makes them fall.
