Extinction!!? Another 'Darwinist Tardologism'!

This is unbelieveable! Do theses idiot Brits REALLy think that True Christianity evolved and was shaped by forces similar to their heretical model for God's natural world!? Don't they know all these 'exticntions' are just examples of God's benevolent smitings of things that just didn't work out!?

I was in stitches reading this! Enjoy!

BBC News - Religion may become extinct in nine nations, study says

A study using census data from nine countries shows that religion there is set for extinction, say researchers.
The study found a steady rise in those claiming no religious affiliation.
The team's mathematical model attempts to account for the interplay between the number of religious respondents and the social motives behind being one.
The result, reported at the American Physical Society meeting in Dallas, US, indicates that religion will all but die out altogether in those countries.
Nonlinear dynamics is invoked to explain a wide range of physical phenomena in which a number of factors play a part.
One of the team, Daniel Abrams of Northwestern University, put forth a similar model in 2003 to put a numerical basis behind the decline of lesser-spoken world languages.
At its heart is the competition between speakers of different languages, and the "utility" of speaking one instead of another.
"The idea is pretty simple," said Richard Wiener of the Research Corporation for Science Advancement.
"It posits that social groups that have more members are going to be more attractive to join, and it posits that social groups have a social status or utility.
"For example in languages, there can be greater utility or status in speaking Spanish instead of [the dying language] Quechuan in Peru, and similarly there's some kind of status or utility in being a member of a religion or not."
The team took census data stretching back as far as a century from countries in which the census queried religious affiliation: Australia, Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Switzerland.


Some of the census data the team used date from the 19th century
"In a large number of modern secular democracies, there's been a trend that folk are identifying themselves as non-affiliated with religion; in the Netherlands the number was 40%, and the highest we saw was in the Czech Republic, where the number was 60%," Dr Wiener said.
The team then applied their nonlinear dynamics model, adjusting parameters for the relative social and utilitarian merits of membership of the "non-religious" category.
They found, in a study published online, that those parameters were similar across all the countries studied, suggesting that similar behaviour drives the mathematics in all of them.
And in all the countries, the indications were that religion was headed toward extinction.
"I think it's a suggestive result," Dr Wiener said.
"It's interesting that a fairly simple model captures the data, and if those simple ideas are correct, it suggests where this might be going.
"Obviously much more complicated things are going on with any one individual, but maybe a lot of that averages out."

I mean, COME ON!!!! Even for all those false cults it's not true. They'll just get smoted along with the Japs and other God Mockers - Extinction! Indeed!!!!

Maybe is only refer at some types of false religions no?

Here in Alicante more people everyday decide no go to the church and prefer take the most of our beautiful climate and restaurants, beaches, places for see than go church on the sundays and I see this is very slow process over the years so maybe it could be call extincion a little, no?

I'm refer at all the catolics of course, so seems it to me they die a slow dead instead of a smite from god direct on all of them.

Excuse my ignorance but was just what I was think. Is possible?

Is probably the pastors will know to answer this perhap.

If people are dropping out of religion is because God is separating the sheep from the goats for the upcoming slaughter.

Amen and SHOUT GLORY! God is a killer. Jesus will return as a warrior. Look at the Book of Revelations and you'll find out that Jesus is going to come back as a killer. And don't you forget that. God will kill a third of the population, a third of the earth!

Exactly, Pastor. None of this namby pamby Darwinist slow death extinction garbage: just a plain straight up slamdunk smiting without so much as a 'by your leave' from the Lord.

That'll show 'em.
