67. Religious fundamentalism is nothing new.

Conservative Christian demographics are holding steady while mainstream and liberal Christian churches are bleeding membership. It seems silly to me that after a hundred years of practically ignoring each others' existence a Catholic would up and leave their church because of something a Baptist did or said.

I think the internet has a lot more to do with it, the ready availability of accurate information. I think the decreased social consequence of not being religious has a lot to do with it, too. More and more people are going to college these days, and more education is inversely correlated with religiosity. So there's that, too.
