The Epicureans in ancient Rome thought that religion was dying out in their day.

The Confucians of ancient China were sure religion was about to be a thing of 
the past.

The Enlightenment philosophes were certain religion was at the end of the line 
in their time.

How many times does this stupid mistake have to be made over again?


Religion is not on its way out. Just, perhaps, in a major transition period. No 
wonder to most of us the ancient religions no longer seem functional in today's 
societies. But that does not mean *no* religion could be.


And it should be noted, on this list, all the heavily secularized societies 
mentioned in the article are *much more* anti-cryonics than "religious" America.
