Daniel Dennet's Prediction: Decline in numbers of Christians (and Muslims)

..And right now: clergy who want to leave because they no longer believe... but they can't get out...

Seminary students interviewed say, "You can't get through seminary and come out believing in God.  You're just not paying enough attention..." 

They are scorned for betraying the conspiracy, like a magician who tells the secret of the illusion.

They are caught in a trap, baited by their own desire to be good and help other people.

The Clergy Project of the Richard Dawkins Foundation helps clergy get out of the ministry.

Stats:  749 million atheists in the world today.  That's

• 2 times as many atheist as Buddhists 
• 40 times more atheists than Jews
• 50 times more atheists than Mormons

One in five (20%) adults do not identify with any religion at all (2008 study).
