I certainly think it has.
The signs are ominous that traditional faith, specifically Christianity, may soon be a thing of the past, and personally I say good riddance.
That is not to say that religion hasn't achieved some remarkable outcomes for both individuals and the masses alike, but history has proved, and repeatedly, that it is also the most divisive aspect of both our global and domestic community - so let's take the best parts, and leave the rest behind.
This Easter weekend has been a prime example of the best and worst of religion.
Every year the long weekend brings families and friends together in a celebration of unity, love and community.
Meanwhile, over 300 people were killed by "religious extremists" in Sri Lankan churches and tourist hotspots, in a pattern that the world seems to be witnessing so often in modern times that it has become alarmingly unsurprising.
A world without religion is not a world without extremists, but it would certainly go a long way towards it.
A society that doesn't believe in an omnipotent being is not a society without principals and morals either - those assets are inherent.
There are an estimated 4200 religions, or belief systems, in the world, with 12 major religions dominating the greater population.
Rather than fight over which 4199 communities are wrong, wouldn't it be better to focus on what unites us, and leave what divides many of us behind.
In Australia, this is happening anyway, although perhaps it should be expedited.
In the 1901 Census, over 96 per cent of Australians identified as Christians. In 2001, that figure had fallen to 68 per cent.
In 2019, that figure sits at around 50 per cent, while over 30 per cent, some seven million Australians, identified as having no religion.
It is time to embrace the future and leave the dogma behind before it is too late.
If I am wrong, then strike me down.
