"This week millions of Jews in
America and around the world celebrate the holiday of Passover. Meanwhile,
millions of Christians are preparing to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus
Christ on Good Friday and rejoice in his resurrection on Easter Sunday three
days later.
"And then there's everyone else.
I don't mean Muslims and Hindus and
Buddhists and adherents of many other smaller faiths around the globe. I'm
talking about the growing number of people, mainly in the U.S. and Europe, who
couldn't care less about religious holidays and rituals. These are the
"nones" — the roughly one fifth of all Americans, and 32 percent of
those under 30, who profess no religious affiliation at all. For these tens of
millions of people, religion is largely a matter of indifference."
[Actually there are 1.3 billion
Catholics and 1 billion Protestants (he's only off by a couple of billion)
celebrating Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
When Damon gets the facts correctly, there is no story. In the 1600s, a French Atheist and philosopher-intellectual
by the name of Voltaire predicted the end of religion within 100 years. Damon should take note.]
