Youth pastor: The rise of atheism is inevitable.

20. I think it's how science is explaining things people used to say "God did it"

If you went back a few thousand years ago people used to say things like God made it rain, or the Rain God made it rain. Natural disasters were God's wrath for some misbehavior or something. Long before we could predict the weather and figure out what caused it.

These days if we can't explain something we're more likely to say it's something scientific we don't understand instead of saying God is doing it.

And even in some cases where there's no answer people now guess things other then god are responsible. For example, many people say UFO's they see must be aliens in the sky.

The less you know about science and such, the easier it is to be religious probably (look at the numbers on religion, or lack of it, among US scientists).
