Atheists & Agnostics

Considering the cyclic recurrence of disasters of one sort or another, there will always be an ample supply of human misery to fuel the false hope that religion feeds on. Especially if any one of the many possible, and maybe even likely catastrophes caused by economic bubbles, nuclear war, nuclear power accidents, overpopulation, environmental degradation, topsoil erosion and depletion, global climate change, ocean acidification, peak oil, growing ineffectiveness of antibiotics, the global water crisis and resulting hunger and, in some places, famine, ... the list goes on.

At some point in the not too distant future, one or more of those points of failure will break, and religion will insert itself into the crises as a "solution". Some things just never change, and human gullibility is one of those constants that will never go away.
