Religion is definatley dying out and has been in a steady decline for some time. Even practising religious people tend to cherry pick what they want to believe and how they want to believe. It's really just a case of the way people are educated. Most European countries tend not to have a heavy religious structure within schools anymore, the same can be said for Australia, Japan, Canada and probably plenty of other countries too... Often countries/ areas with heavy poverty and low education tend to rely more heavily on religious education and teachings. As long as there is poverty and inequality in the world religion will continue to be a part of our world but its certainly not as relevant as it was 40 years ago.
