I’m not sure it’s possible to move past it, at least not in any of our lifetimes. Some long tail where specific faiths wither away bit by bit with each generation, maybe. Though, I find it hard to imagine that space not somehow being filled with some other form of spirituality.
More to the point, surely you don’t mean all religions?
its not a coincidence that more educated people tend to be much less religious.
It’s not a coincidence because it’s not true. The effect of education on religion varies considerably depending on country, and that’s before we even consider confounding variables.
That would certainly curtail the most reactionary elements of religion, but I don’t think that would end it. Maybe for some. But faith, like any institution cultural or otherwise, evolves with its environment.

Hm. You wanna go to tribal land and tell them we’ve once again decided they can’t practice their culture? Cus that’s what your arguing for.

Belatedly funny to realize we’re both arguing for the same thing.
