The state allows fundamentalist religions to be expressed, not the other way around

[Romanov]

With society progressing and becoming more liberal, I see nothing but the clock ticking for these religions especially since its fundamentalists don’t tolerate certain groups of people and are trying to infiltrate politics by breaking down the separation of church and state. Christianity for example is growing more and more incompatible with modern society that multiple studies are signaling its decline.  All it takes is for the state to tax the churches and it’s over. Running for president these days while saying that homosexuality is a sin for example, is political suicide. 

Isn’t it all just a matter of time?

@Romanov Yes. Religion is by its nature Blue, hence it can’t survive in an Orange+ world.

Right, and I guess could be said about orange+ not being able to survive in a blue- world. Let’s say Jesus was actually real. His teachings got him killed because he was preaching unity and inclusiveness.

Historians are fairly unanimous that Jesus was a Jewish apocalyptic preacher. He believed that God would establish a kingdom in Palestine, and that he would be the new ruler. Jewish apocalyptic thought was not new in Jesus’ time. There were many other preachers who taught the same (of course with themselves as the ruler), including his mentor John the Baptist. It was a classic stage Red/Blue movement.
