Interview with an Arab Atheist
My favorite quote:
Q: Some people think atheism is a form of “Westernization.” What do you think?
A: Some people are stupid.
:bravo:
With all the oil has come a high level of security, better chances at forging a decent future life here on earth, and atheism. This generation will see some atheists but many more will simply not take their religion all that serious. The next generation will take it even less serious, but will probably be religious in some way. IF things remain stable, I suspect the following generation will be as religious as most Europeans. And with the Internet - maybe even less so. By this time advances in medicine may remove the last reasons for being religious. So the numbers could crash severely.
I'd also like to note: Her rational was based on her education. Something I think we should begin at a MUCH earlier age.
