Paul Crowley

It's a good entry. But I, of course, think the second vision is more likely than the first, because I find it easier to imagine significant numbers of people shifting towards forms of religion more suitable for a tolerant and inclusive world than to imagine them abandoning it entirely. I'd be happy with either, though - if people don't need religion, that's fine. Although I do wonder what would happen to a person who had an inexplicable spiritual experience in the world of the first example - would they end up sectioned for being dangerously crazy?
