ive been quietly pondering a similar concept for some years now. the idea of the great industrial revolution on western society and how much religous thinking is wrapped up in that manifestation of materialism as a symbol of absolute proof to the self for beleif. i have been wondering if the shift to modern technology will help to transition religion to a form of non material obsession as a form of philisophical principal in express terms of cultural interaction and nurture.
