The Persistence of Religion
Despite the widespread belief that religion is on the decline, Timothy Keller highlights data suggesting that religion is actually growing globally. He notes, 'The world is expected to become more religious—not less.' This challenges the assumption that modernization and education naturally lead to secularism. For instance, Keller recounts an experience where a business professional was surprised to see thousands of young professionals attending church in Manhattan, contradicting his belief that religion was dying out among the educated.
