Religion is actually not in death throes. The vast majority of people on this planet are Religious and their numbers are growing (not declining). Atheists in the west are hardly growing in numbers but are more routed away from traditional Christianity and into an array of a whole host of other faiths which are compatible with their personalities. A lot of people seem to have some kind of a natural resistance to lack of beliefs. They want to believe. Maybe, it makes life more enjoyable.
Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil
