Given what people have said about Islam taking longer to adapt to other religions tolerances it makes me wonder how future religions will be able to change since there is no lack of knowledge in this information age. In terms of record-keeping of prophets and whatnot.

On the other side of the coin, objectively correct information is more accessible than ever before. Allegedly, people are leaving religions in droves as a result. Their atrocities won’t be forgotten, either.

This is true as well. The underlined part was actually kind of what I was getting at, you put it in fewer words then I did. 🆒

[Actually, the share of non-religious people is declining as the West’s low birthrates are outpaced by Africa and the Middle East.](http://www.pewforum.org/2015/04/02/religious-projections-2010-2050/) But you probably didn’t want to know that.

Or he doesn’t care about that, since African and Middle Eastern countries are almost certain to follow the same demographic trend as the west and see lower birthrates over time.

And children never, ever, not so much as even once, hold beliefs different from their parents’ beliefs. Birthrate solely determines religious affiliation. No one ever fell away from his father’s religion. Riiiight.
