I stumbled across two stories today that provide anecdotal evidence for something I've suspected for some time: that the decline of traditional religion will occur contemporaneously with the rise of a replacement "religion." Compare this post noting the decline of religion in America, with this article noting a contemporary trend of "baptism" among atheists.
That "replacement religion" I have described before as "scienceism."
