In case you've missed it, the news is full of stories these days about the death of religion- or at least of Protestantism.

What can we do to stop this trend- or should we? The first story is written by a religious professor who notes that today's youth do not want a religion that makes any moral judgments- everyone is good and the only goal is happiness- the sooner the better.
This has to remind some of Gomorrah. Are we there yet? Are we worse? Or are things much the same as they always have been? Is there no progress for humanity?
Another interesting trend the papers note are the growth in American-made religions like Scientology and Mormonism.
