Canada marching away from religion to secularization

[MOBIUS]

I want to know why the US isn't dark green in the first chart - Ben on his own is enough to turn the entire country dark green...

[Asher]

I think Germany, Austria and Italy count as developed.

Very astute! Well done.

But Germany, Austria, and Italy are all blue (like Canadia). The US is green.

I like his second chart because it shows the US is more similar to India and poor South American countries than the rest of the developed world.

You mean still has population growth?

Dumb people breeding.

[MOBIUS]

Especially dumb Americans!

I think we will slowly become more and more secular ... Thank Goodness, but religion is deep seeded and is likely to be around for a long long time - even in Canada. The States has the bible belt which will likely never be completely secular.

Are you selling Stones tickets?

Don't worry, plate tectonics will take care of the Bible Belt.

I'm shocked at you guys.

stonefan has been around for 2 days now and hasn't received the DL Dance yet.

What's wrong with you people? Is the Poly Welcome Wagon broken?

Dumb people breeding.

Who else is going to clean your bathrooms or pick your fruit?

[Asher]

ROBOTS.

Let's face it: manual labour is becoming increasingly irrelevant with technology. We don't need tons of dumb people anymore.

All these breeding-happy countries are doing is increasing their costs for social responsibility.

Canada may be growing more secular but the world at large will be more religious in 50 years time than today.

Spoiler:

Lots of poor backwaters have high fertility rates and consider religion important.... I think that means that as economies get more developed, people tend to be less religious and have less babies. And I think the world will be richer in 50 years time.

I don't think religiosity or fertility are some sort of racial trait. Europe used to be very religious and have lots of babies.

These charts don't support your claim.
