Religion is a failure
Some people think that religion is a natural human way to comprehend what they didn't understand, filling in the gaps of their knowledge until the discovered a rational scientific explanations for things. According to these people, in the developed world, religion is running out of gaps to fill and more and more peoiple are becoming atheist or agnostic.
Religion is the last resort
Other people, however, contend that one cannot study the universe and possibly conclude that there is no God. It is far too precise, interwoven, complex. Yet, men in their pride exalt their thinking to conclude that there is no God. Yet, God formed the mind of men. To think that mankind just "happened" shows no logical reasoning at all that there was not a divine order and creation to our universe.
Where I stand?
Between the two views there is an abyss that no one can account for. Religion relies more on faith while science relies more on observable facts. I think that the two views may coexist in a mutual respect and an everlasting quest for the ultimate truth.
