There was a view expressed recently on this forum that religion was dying out, and atheism was preparing to rule the day (from Seisomosaur, I believe) and I remembered this article.

Well, it more or less says that humans are genetically pre-disposed to have religious or supernatural tendencies, as these behaviours promote natural selection. So I don't think religion will be dying out any time soon, unless atheism can annoy and bore genes as well as my ears! (A joke ) Hallelujah!
So what do you guys and gals think?


PS: I do not think that all the theists going quiet will help reduce, in the long-term, the malicious atheism which is cited as having occured in this forum. As was the debate on another thread.
