Jun 14: Religion Does More Harm Than Good

Decline of Religion
Religion is becoming marginalised in Canada.

A new poll in Canada by IPSOS indicated that in 2017:

  • 51% of respondents believed that religion does more harm than good in the world. (Up 7% from 44% in 2011).
  • 24% of respondents said they believed religious people are better citizens. (Down 8% from 32% in 2011).
  • 34% of respondents said that religion should play an important part in political life. (Down 11% from 45% in a similar poll twenty years ago).
  • Nine out of ten respondents said they were “completely comfortable being around people who have different religious beliefs than me.”
The days of religion are numbered.

Above us only sky...

The glory of the 'heavens' above us are real, their starry splendour is visible to those who look up; but the glory of 'Heaven' is a sad delusion of human minds.
This is the personal blog site of an atheist astronomer.

Wise words

"We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology."
