Looking at the world, what’s the advantage for a nation to have “fewer Christians”?
The world’s leading superpower (the United States) has a Christian majority.
I wouldn’t trade that for the second-biggest power (China), which encourages worship of the State.
Then you have Muslim-majority countries—I have no idea what’s going to happen to them once oil loses its importance.
The USSR pushed state atheism for 70 years and ended up collapsing anyway.
Hinduism is interesting, but I’m not a fan of Indian culture.
Shinto is cool—the Japanese really turned things around after World War II.
For me, the worst part is when schools start teaching religion.
I’d rather they just focus on actual schooling: give kids the basics of math, geography, grammar, history, geometry…
Education should be the family’s responsibility—let each parent teach their kids whatever religion (or none) they want.
Then, when they’re teenagers, people can choose their own path.
