Religion is in it's death throes in the West. Let them burn themselves out. Fortunately, most religious people here don't deny the picture of the universe that the scientific community has revealed. There are of course those young earthers, but they are properly ridiculed by mainstream society. Their definition of God can only be redefined and diminished so much until the concept of it disappears completely. Let them burn themselves out.
Simon Amstell, a comedian, has a joke that goes something like, "I don't like to pick on religious people because it feels like the battle's already been won. No matter if someone says they're a Christian or a Jew or a Muslim, we have to treat them with love and respect. I react the same way to someone saying they're religious as I would react to a child saying 'Look at me! I'm a helicopter!' and I'd say 'Oh that's nice, I'm a chop-choo train. We're all having fun here.'"
In the middle East and Catholic Africa, well.... nothing to do about that really. Just pray...

Im not religious, but what is wrong with giving somebody something to take comfort in during times of need?
