A new study says religion may become extinct in nine countries in the coming decades...Australia, Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Switzerland. In the Czech Republic right now 60% of survey respondents indicate they have no religious affiliation. I think, though it is an elegant mathematical study, the results are incorrect. Religion will not be extinct in those countries, but Christianity probably will be, replaced in some of those places by Islam.

Here at home, while Detroit continues to shrink, Miami is rocked by racial tension, not between Blacks and Whites, but between Blacks and Hispanics, specifically Black men getting shot by Hispanic police officers.

Andrew Ferguson has this interesting piece on why major American colleges and universities are once again discriminating against women, and why that discrimination is being ignored by feminists.
