While some religions are on the downward trend, other religions are on the rise. God apparently may not be going anywhere anytime soon. Moreover with the coming environmental upheavals which can already be felt in the breeze, faith proves a good shelter from the storm for the weak hearted. Scientists cannot predict earthquakes, tsunami's and now pandemics with all the technology they have (this is what I am continuously told by the faithful), so God will always have this void to fill, since science - by its very nature can only guarantee the best available explanation based on facts and never plays Nostradamus.
