      I spent a long time as an agnostic lying to myself about their true nature and aspirations. I regret this is what it took to make me see them for what they are

        No, a drop in religiosity over the past decade is more likely to be explained by events in the last decade than events over the last century.

          Yes the current crop of hypocritical charlatans have made their corruptions abundantly clear, and are giving more people pause to question the validity of religious claims in general.

          But the previous generations running the same scam started the slow (but accelerating) turning away from those same religions claims.
