I...well, OK, interesting point: I mean, hundreds of years ago, more people were extremely religious because we didn't have as much scientific knowledge and so they thought that, like, thunderstorms were God being mad at them or whatever. And now we have a lot more understanding of the world, so there's fewer extremely devout people in general (although there are still plenty, to be sure), but most of the "fiction" back in the day (i.e., stories, poems, songs, art) were based around those religious ideas/figures/'explanations' of natural phenomena, so now that we have literal understandings, we need other types of creative outlets and fantasy...yeah, I totally dig this! Man, I actually kinda miss being in school; I'd so write a paper about this. [/nerd]

(Damn, these other comments are harsh! I too am not at all personally religious, although I am really interested in theology from an academic perspective. I did not get the impression you were saying "Y'ALL ARE HEATHENS AND NEED JESUS," y/n?)

I'm a little surprised by the vitriol too, although it's been a while since I've been on F!S and that could totally be the problem there.

And now we have a lot more understanding of the world, so there's fewer extremely devout people in general (although there are still plenty, to be sure), but most of the "fiction" back in the day (i.e., stories, poems, songs, art) were based around those religious ideas/figures/'explanations' of natural phenomena, so now that we have literal understandings, we need other types of creative outlets and fantasy...

That's a good point. Back in the day, there were saints you were meant to look up to, or gods you were meant to sacrifice things to. Now the figures American culture looks up to are very, very different. It's more about surface than an inherent truth. Which isn't awful, it's just symptom of instant gratification thanks to technology.
