Yeah, the religion is getting more powerful where society gets more technologized. What? On what planet are you living?

I am assuming you are from Western Europe or Eastern Asia to say this. There are other places where religious movements have gained more momentum while scientific developments have also taken place.

Eastern EU. Religion is in decline here, but indeed in a slow pace but the countless problems with the hypocrisy of religious people that preach is erroding the trust they have in this institution. It is now just a matter of change of a generation. But nevermind, think about the north EU countries where is a high level of well being and they are all very technologized. If you think about it the industrial revolution was the beginning of the fall of religion,and it is not hard to see that the better they are as a society, the more secular they are.
