Reading through some news articles on the BBC website, up popped a story:
In essence the story is about a paper [A mathematical model of social group competition with application to the growth of religious non-affiliation - Daniel M. Abrams, Haley A. Yaple, Richard J. Wiener] on the Demographic survey and suggestion that from a number of countries, the number of people with no affiliated religions is on the rise and the numbers with a religion are decreasing.
In essence if the model was applied to a Darwinistic perception of "Survival of the Fittest", is religion being seen by a majority as "unfit" and no longer capable of "Survival"?
Is "Science" wrong to identify religion as being a potential extinction candidate?
