In this day and age is anything new? Is religion part of the new "retro" fad?

Hi handsome.  I wonder if there are more fanatics now or do we just see more of them because of our association to Q/A.  I live in the bible belt and Texas  has always been a politically conservative state for as long as I can remember.  If anything is true, I see a change towards more liberal thinking down here.  It will not be long, I hope, before more people wise up to the dangers of mixing religion and the law.

Hear the Master:\n\nA religion old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the universe as revealed by modern science, might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths.\nSooner or later, such a religion will emerge. \n\nCarl Sagan

:}\nNo on the contrary.... It's cool to be a Christian now. For years people looked at you funny when you said “God Bless”, or “Have a blessed day”. Now it just   "You Too"  Now we are gaining Bible clubs in our schools and Christian coffee houses and lots of other stuff.\nIt might be starting to be socially unacceptable to be non-Christian.

Christian culture is embarassing.  They always take mainstream culture and create their own lame version of it.  Christian rock, Christian metal, rap, Christian raves, myspace-like sites, etc.  \n\nThey take mainstream elements and use them to "witness" such as "got jesus?" t-shirts or the Intel advertisment take-offs like, "jesus inside," with the logo, etc.  \n\nFricken LAME

Many years ago yes. But no longer. What is your question?

No, today has been no different from any other day. No demon attacks, bloody satanic rituals done,  or great apocalyptic catastrophe that I'm aware of. Durn it. Don't you just hate it when the world doesn't do what you religion says it's supposed to do?

The other guy is right. Religion is a way of life. It has evolved as evolution has evolved. Very few people notice, but religion is ever-changing, in such small ways, as life is evolving.

I think so.  Kids are growing up way before they should, the people of the world ar in a 24/7 non-stop rut, there seems to be something new out there to buy every day, and people won't stop criticizing the beliefs of others.\n\nMy head is spinning, there are not enough hours in the day to do and think about everything that's expected of us.

nah...\n\nPeople have been complaining that the current generation is worse than the past ones literally since Aristotle. Times changes, as do attitudes and fads. Sometimes the old folks (and that would probaby include me at 44) sometimes don't keep up with it and have a lot of nostalgia for what they *think* was there youth.

People in the world do not know what their religion is exactly. There are so many types of each religion now, nobody knows what they are.

America has been secular for a long time. Consumerism is our true national religion.\n\nI don't think religion is growing, I just think that fundamentalist evangelical Christianity is becoming more extreme, visible, and well-organized.\n\nAlso, Americans are on average more stupid and ignorant than they have been in a long time- far behind the rest of the 'first world' in education and cultural literacy- so there is plenty of room for faith to fill in where reason is absent.
