    That and an increase in size for religions that believe in reincarnation […]

    Would reincarnation alone still really be a religious element at that point, given that it may just be a natural phenomena?

      Well in theory all of the religious elements are not religious elements. We just haven’t demonstrated them to our satisfaction. (which I suppose is the line between bullshit and not-bullshit right there)

      Like, if we forgot how to make particle accelerators And the only talk of quarks and leptons was in religious mythology.

      More of a natural phenomena, but if they were right about that and others were wrong about heaven/afterlife then some people would trust those religions and distrust the others
