While religious delusion seems to be on the increase back in Blighty, here in the US things are trending – modestly – in the opposite direction:

Meanwhile, over the last several decades, the percentage of those who perceive religion as “largely old-fashioned and out of date†has been on a continuous rise. The latest poll found that 28 percent believe it’s old-fashioned.
But even so… 53 percent? That’s a dangerous level of delusion…
