An Interesting Trend

A study reported by the BBC suggests that organized religion is on the way out in nine of the countries they examined. The nine countries: Australia, Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Switzerland.

Statistical modeling of human behavior tends to be overly simplistic, but polling data has been showing the trend from which they extrapolate. More European countries would have been included except for their substantial and growing Muslim minorities which tend to be somewhat devout.
