Because of the technology that is being developed, with all of the human made marvels people tend to turn away from a religious standpoint and begin asking what can be done here and now, instead in a long drawn out process, that may not happen at all.

One view:Information today is so abundant and so readily available that people are better able to make a distinction between formalized practice (religion) and experienced faith (spirituality). Some formal religions have offered psychological and sociological benefits, but at a cost. Many formal religions also come with centuries of baggage that is hard to explain and to accept. Spirituality is a current buzz-word, and contemporary ideas of spirituality also offer some benefits, along with a cost. Very personal concepts of spirituality can sometimes lead down dangerous roads when there is too little communal and critical attention given to them. There is also the argument that the current secular/scientific mind-set is responsible for the apparent demise of religion, but if this is true, it may not be a bad thing. If one tries to base faith too soundly on the observed world, there is bound to be disillusionment. Those with a deeper faith will not be phased by the world as it happens to be. Another ViewIn my opinion, people are becoming less religious do to theories of the past that were proved false. Many theories including "the earth is flat" and "all planets revolve around the sun" were thought of after religions was created. So if a person thought up these theories that aren't correct, which most were not, then also people do no think that their religions are real either. This is just my opinion and I have nothing against any religions.
