Non-believers taking college campuses by storm

[CoffeeCat]

7. There's something happenin' here...

A recent poll showed that 30 percent of young adults have no religious affiliation. This is unprecedented.

I think the wheels are beginning to come off of organized religion. People see the hypocrisy. They say that if
you want to create an atheist, have that person read the Bible. The Bible condones hitting your children, it also
positions slavery as a good thing, and suggesting stoning and death for minor infractions--such as wearing
mixed fibers and adultery.

I think people are waking up. Much of organized religion has become corrupt and cruel. Zealots use it to
justify hating gay people and denying basic science.

I have a feeling that this "30 percent" will become 50 percent within ten years. Look at what has happened to
the Catholic Church. It's in tatters. People are not buying the snake-oil any longer.

You don't need religion to be a good and decent person. In fact, you can be a spiritual person, without joining
organized religion. I think we are in a major paradigm shift.

I couldn't be happier.
