I'm glad... the less religious the world becomes, the more peace to be had, imo.
I think the internet, and broadening the scope of awareness for people is partially to blame for this. More than any other time in our history, we are connected with people from all across the world, with different faiths. We see every tragedy in full HD. It's easy to question why kids would grow up being more cynical of religion in general. It requires a certain amount of ignorance, imo, to fully believe, without question, the various religious texts.
Treating everyone equally, and with respect is not political correctness, it's simply being a decent person. As we've seen with that dick in SC, though, the younger generations still have work to do.
