I don't understand why you say it is "dying."  Is it evolving?  Yes, I think in some way it is.  But it is definitely not dying.  I don't believe in any organized religion.  I don't think church buildings and rituals and fancy clothes and robes are what God intended at all.  Jesus was poor and humble, and I think he is shaking his head saying, "This isn't what I had in mind at all."  I can understand why people become atheists.  I really can.  I am not one of them.  But I can understand how it happens.  Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it isn't there.  I also don't believe in hell.  I don't think atheists will go to hell for not believing.  I believe the criteria for getting in (and you'll forgive my humble opinion here) is how we treat one another.  And quite honestly I don't see atheists and believers treating each other all that well.  They just seem to get mad at each other.  Like I said, my father is an atheist.  It doesn't change the way I feel about him, and it doesn't change the way he feels about me, either.  We can discuss it, and often do, without getting angry or insulting.  I don't know.  Just some thoughts.  I don't know if atheists are any more arrogant than a lot of people I know.  They just have their own beliefs.  I hope something I've said makes sense.  I will say one thing -- my own gut tells me there's in Intelligent Designer out there, and I trust my intuition more than any human I've ever met.  Please don't argue.  It doesn't get anyone anywhere but mad.
