"No room in the manger"

I believe that the world is semi-secularizing. Although there are somethings that are becoming more secular each year, like Christmas as the cartoon above depicts. "No room in the manger" is a perfect way to show that commercialism is beating out the old christian views that used to be so common and prevalent in the past. Atheism and Theism is ruling the youth of today with a far less remaining religious than earlier years. Now that society is more open to the rest of the world and the rest of the world's religions, Christianity may have some tough competition. With the access we have to the internet and all the information provided about all the religions of the world, we may just renounce all of them and create a new one that better fits our times. Many of the rules and regulations of many religions are outdated and can no longer fulfill their purpose. It is truly amazing how long most of these religions have been a part of our lives and maybe not in my life time, but within the next couple I see the toppling of most of the major religions and the rise of some new religion that better fits our time frame. I mean with our new understandings of science and molecules and how things work has definitely made it hard for most to believe that Jesus was a man that could turn water into wine and walk on it too. Of course there still are and will always be the majorly devoted people who will never stop believing and more power to them, I just believe that religion needs to catch up with the times. I mean there are still people that believe in Zoroastrianism, the first monotheistic faith and the religion that the ancient kings of Persia used to follow, that is true dedication. Secularization will most likely never be completely accepted by everyone, but at some point the major religions of today will be the ruins of tomorrow and a new better fitted religion will take hold among the masses and work as the opiate.
