Is it possible that in our secularized western society we don't take religion seriously enough (see the data on media coverage)?
It seems to me that for those "movements" that appear to be making global gains politically -- (if judged by support by the people whether it's to overturn that devil America or gain their freedom (as in Egypt or Libya)) -- it seems to me these are the movements that consider elections, politics, foreign affairs, diplomacy, culture and economy, etc. -- all to be part and parcel of their "religious beliefs".
Meanwhile, we do everything we can to keep religion out of all these things in the West. We're way above religion. Well, maybe -- and maybe not. One thing is for sure -- if we keep thinking that way, we won't have to worry about our western faiths -- they'll all be driven underground in due time -- by that other "religion".
Please share this with others that may benefit.
