Science and Religion

In nineteenth-century positivism, it was thought that religion would disappear because the only valid form of knowledge was considered to be science, and it did not include religion. This did not happen, because it was later understood that science is only one form of knowledge, not the only one, and that religion lies outside the scientific domain but is not opposed to science.

However, I do not believe in a revival of religion: mass atheism has been spreading from generation to generation for a long time now, and I do not think the trend can be reversed. Nevertheless, I would not entirely rule it out.
