Why neither Bachmann and Perry will win in 2012 or any other year.
Why Harper keeps his fundamentalism under wraps while he desperately and quietly keeps religion as an important player in his government. And why his devotion to Israel takes precedence over his own country. Rapture!
A study using census data from nine countries shows that religion there is set for extinction, say researchers.
The study found a steady rise in those claiming no religious affiliation.
The team’s mathematical model attempts to account for the interplay between the number of religious respondents and the social motives behind being one.
The result, reported at the American Physical Society meeting in Dallas, US, indicates that religion will all but die out altogether in those countries.
The team took census data stretching back as far as a century from countries in which the census queried religious affiliation: Australia, Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Switzerland.
